=head1 NAME

Imager::Color::Float - Rough floating point sample colour handling

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  $color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue);
  $color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
  $color = Imager::Color->new("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification

  $color->set($red, $green, $blue);
  $color->set($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
  $color->set("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification

  ($red, $green, $blue, $alpha) = $color->rgba();
  @hsv = $color->hsv(); # not implemented but proposed

  $color->info();


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module handles creating color objects used by imager.  The idea is
that in the future this module will be able to handle colorspace calculations
as well.

=over 4

=item new

This creates a color object to pass to functions that need a color argument.

=item set

This changes an already defined color.  Note that this does not affect any places
where the color has been used previously.

=item rgba

This returns the rgba code of the color the object contains.

=item info

Calling info merely dumps the relevant colorcode to the log.
