[Gimp-developer] a question about hsl saturation calculation.

[chiyu wang]

I tried to go through the source code of hsl saturation calculation.

In the file there is a function :

void
gimp_operation_hue_saturation_map (GimpHueSaturationConfig *config,
                                  const GimpRGB           *color,
                                  GimpHueRange             range,
                                  GimpRGB                 *result)

it has three step to change saturation.
1.convert RGB into HSL
2. HSL mapping
3. HSL into RGB

My question is how does map_saturation() function work, I tried to
look into the code and it turn out too complicated for me to
understand.  Is there any one can explain it to me. Thank you in
advance.
