Litmus

A .NET Api for Calculating the Average Color of the Screen

Introduction

Litmus is an API which is used to quickly get the Average Color or the Most Prominent color displayed on the screen.

Important Note

Currently, Litmus doesn't have the ability to detect the average color of the screen while playing a full screen game. To add support for this, we would need a way to read color data directly from the GPU framebuffer, which I don't currently know how to do. But, it's on the backlog.

Getting Started

You can access the NuGet package Here.

Getting the Average Color of the Screen

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ILitmus litmus = new DirectxColorProvider();
        
        // Get the Average Color of the Screen
        LitmusColor color = litmus.GetAverageColor();

        Console.WriteLine("Red:{0}\nGreen:{1}\nBlue:{2}\n", color.Red, color.Green, color.Blue);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Getting the Most Common Color on the Screen

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ILitmus litmus = new DirectxColorProvider();
        
        // Get the Average Color of the Screen
        LitmusColor color = litmus.GetMostCommonColor();

        Console.WriteLine("Red:{0}\nGreen:{1}\nBlue:{2}\n", color.Red, color.Green, color.Blue);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Issues/Feature Requests

Please add an entry to the issues section of the Repository. I would like to continue developing this API in way that is useful to other people.
