Using a Procedural Color Palette in GeoGebra

Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano — School of Environment and Science, Griffith University, Australia

Abstract

Creating smooth and aesthetically pleasing color transitions in GeoGebra can be challenging, especially when manually adjusting RGB or HSV values. This paper presents a simple yet powerful procedural color palette function based on cosine transformations, allowing for effortless dynamic color generation. By leveraging this function, users can achieve continuous color variation without the complexity of switching between color spaces. We explore the mathematical foundation of this method and its practical benefits in mathematical visualization.
