A quick question

try identifying the RGB value of a color parameter with the 1.1 method:

public static Color decode(String nm) throws NumberFormatException;

the Color constructor takes an RGB value:

public Color(int r, int g, int b);    or    public Color(int rgb);

-hope this helps

Hmm... how about a long if, else if statement to compar the colors?
There are only about 13 of them.

Can you give me an example how to use decode(string)  please?

Thanks,

btw, sailwind, I am not going to do a loop 13 times, sorry:)

Thank you!

I found a way to do this:

public static Color convertStringToColor(String aString) {
   try {
      return (Color)Class.forName("java.awt.Color").getField(aString).get(null);
   } catch(Throwable e) {
      System.err.println(e);
      return null;
}

no loop needed!
