Is there a way to read a pixels RGB value?

[KarterJK]

I want to select a color from an image colour wheel
I can get the cooridinates etc
but is there a way to read the RGB value of
a pixel at a given coordinate(x,y)?

You mean like the JavaScript Colour Picker here:

?

Hope this helps,

Sorry - I should have answered your question, too...

Using JavaScript, you cannot get RGB values of specific pixels. The colour picker above does it by calculating what colour should be at what x and y coordinate, rather that what actually is there, I believe.

Hope this helps,

Thanks
I already have a routine that does that
I was trying to avoid it LOL

I was afraid the answer was going to be "no".

Thnx

You would have to be able to query the video card to be able to do this - something that can't be done through a browser.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
