I have the following problem. I have a charting program, and it's design is black, but the charts (that I get from the server as images) are light (it actually uses only 5 colors: red, green, white, black and gray).
To fit with the design inversion does a good job, the only problem is that red and green are inverted also (green -> pink, red -> green).
Is there a way to invert everything except those 2 colors, or a way to repaint those colors after inversion? And how costly are those operations (since I get the chart updates pretty often)?
Thanks in advance :)
UPDATE
I tried replacing colors with setPixel method in a loop
for(int x = 0 ;x < chart.getWidth();x++) {
for(int y = 0;y < chart.getHeight();y++) {
final int replacement = getColorReplacement(chart.getPixel(x, y));
if(replacement != 0) {
chart.setPixel(x, y, replacement);
}
}
}
Unfortunetely, the method takes too long (~650ms), is there a faster way to do it, and will setPixels() method work faster?
