setHsl

setHsl is a function commonly found in graphics programming or color manipulation libraries. Its primary purpose is to set the hue, saturation, and lightness (HSL) components of a color. HSL is an alternative color model to RGB, representing colors based on their perceived attributes rather than their additive or subtractive components.

The hue component typically ranges from 0 to 360 degrees, representing the pure color on the color wheel. Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of the color, usually ranging from 0% (grayscale) to 100% (full color). Lightness indicates how light or dark the color appears, generally from 0% (black) to 100% (white), with 50% representing the pure color.

When setHsl is invoked, it takes these three values as arguments. For example, setHsl(120, 50, 75) would set a color to a light green. This function is useful for dynamically adjusting colors, creating color gradients, or performing color transformations in a way that is more intuitive for human perception compared to manipulating RGB values directly. Different implementations might have slight variations in the exact range or interpretation of these parameters, but the core functionality remains the same: to define a color using its hue, saturation, and lightness.
