Color Functions
bar
bar(x, width) -> varchar
Renders a single bar in an ANSI bar chart using a default
low_color of red and a high_color of green. For example,
if x of 25% and width of 40 are passed to this function. A
10-character red bar will be drawn followed by 30 spaces to create
a bar of 40 characters.
bar(x, width, low_color, high_color) -> varchar
Renders a single line in an ANSI bar chart of the specified
width. The parameter x is a double value between 0 and 1.
Values of x that fall outside the range [0, 1] will be
truncated to either a 0 or a 1 value. The low_color and
high_color capture the color to use for either end of
the horizontal bar chart. For example, if x is 0.5, width
is 80, low_color is 0xFF0000, and high_color is 0x00FF00
this function will return a 40 character bar that varies from red
(0xFF0000) and yellow (0xFFFF00) and the remainder of the 80
character bar will be padded with spaces.
color
color(string) -> color
Returns a color capturing a decoded RGB value from a 4-character
string of the format "#000". The input string should be varchar
containing a CSS-style short rgb string or one of black,
red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan,
white.
color(x, low, high, low_color, high_color) -> color
Returns a color interpolated between low_color and
high_color using the double parameters x, low, and
high to calculate a fraction which is then passed to the
color(fraction, low_color, high_color) function shown below.
If x falls outside the range defined by low and high
its value is truncated to fit within this range.
color(x, low_color, high_color) -> color
Returns a color interpolated between low_color and
high_color according to the double argument x between 0
and 1. The parameter x is a double value between 0 and 1.
Values of x that fall outside the range [0, 1] will be
truncated to either a 0 or a 1 value.
render
render(x, color) -> varchar
Renders value x using the specific color using ANSI
color codes. x can be either a double, bigint, or varchar.
render(b) -> varchar
Accepts boolean value b and renders a green true or a red
false using ANSI color codes.
rgb
rgb(red, green, blue) -> color
Returns a color value capturing the RGB value of three
component color values supplied as int parameters ranging from 0
to 255: red, green, blue.
