Class InetAddressColorFactory

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.hccp.net.InetAddressColorFactory

public class InetAddressColorFactory
extends java.lang.Object

A simple hack for converting IPv4 addresses into RGB+alpha colors, as well as resolving RGB+alpha colors into IPv4 addresses. In the case of address -> color, it simply takes each of the octets and assigns it's value to a particular channel. For instance, 64.81.140.31 would resolve to a color similar to this.* In the case of color -> address, the color's red, green, blue, and alpha channel values will become the four octet values. For example, java.awt.Color.RED would resolve to the IP address 255.0.0.255.**

* This is not an exact representation, due to the fact that we cannot render the alpha channel transparency effected by the last octet (the "31").

** One can see that the resolution of color -> address may not necessarily produce a real or "pingable" IP address.

Method Summary

static java.awt.Color getColor(java.net.InetAddress address)
          This simply takes each of the octets and assigns it's value to a particular channel.

static java.awt.Color getColor(java.lang.String address)
          Takes a string representation ("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") and for each of the octets, assigns it's value to a particular channel.

static java.net.InetAddress getInetAddress(java.awt.Color color)
          Converts a java.awt.Color object into a corresponding java.net.InetAddress.
