Fix2SmallFract Convert a Fixed integer to a SmallFract value
#include <Picker.h> Color Picker Package
SmallFract Fix2SmallFract(aFixedInt);
Fixed aFixedInt; is the Fixed value to be converted
returns a SmallFract value
The Fix2SmallFract procedure converts a Fixed integer to a SmallFract
integer. A SmallFract value can represent a value between 0 and 65,535. The
Color Picker Package uses SmallFract values in its CMYColor, HSLColor,
and HSVColor records. You can use this function if you need to convert
SmallFract values to or from Fixed values. (They can be assigned directly to
and from short integers.)
Returns: a 16-bit SmallFract value, equivalent to aFixedInt to the best
precision possible for the data type.
Notes: A SmallFract is the fractional part of a Fixed number, can be assigned
directly to and from a short , and represents values between 0 and 65,535.
By using a SmallFract while short is used as an unsigned integer-sized
value (as is the case with RGBColor), the Color Picker sidesteps
problems with sign extensions in the conversion math.
