float complex color |
This operator divides the first operand by the second operand and returns the result. The type of the result is equal to the largest type of the operands (complex is larger than float, and float is larger than int). Integer operands are always converted to float prior to dividing them.
The divison operator also accepts a color operand on the left side, and a float operand on the right side. In this case, it divides each color component by the float operand and returns the result.
Examples:
3 / 2 ; 1.5 (14, 10) / 2 ; (7, 5) (5, 3) / (3, 2) ; (1.6154, -0.0769) rgba(0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 1) / 2 ; rgba(0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.5)
Note: the second operand should not be equal to zero. Otherwise an invalid value will be returned. See Invalid operations.
