Make various color wheels

Written by Roger Kaufman <polyhedrasmith@gmail.com>

positional arguments:
  map_name              map name or definition. if file type .off is seen,
                        build map from off file
  num_cols              number of map colors. non-negative integer. zero for
                        all colors of an off file
  rest                  argument string at end are passed to planar

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m {w,g,G}, --model {w,g,G}
                        type of model. w - wheel, g - grid, G - globe
                        (default: w)
  -c {rgb,hsv,hsl}, --col_sys {rgb,hsv,hsl}
                        rgb, hsv or hsl (default: rgb)

Examples

Use a star polygon to blend 7 colors of the rainbow map

color_wheel -m w rainbow7 7 | antiview

Use a grid to blend 7 colors of the rainbow map

color_wheel -m g rainbow7 7 | antiview

Use a globe to blend 7 colors of the rainbow map

color_wheel -m G rainbow7 7 | antiview

Use a star polygon to blend 3 colors of the rainbow map. Pass -y to planar to blend the colors as RYB instead of RGB

color_wheel -m w rainbow3 3 -y | antiview
