HSL to RGB?

[PJ6]

I have a color I need to convert to RGB from HSL
(hue/saturation/luminosity).

Can't find anything built in. Anyone know how it's done?

TIA,
Paul

Surprised there's nothing built in to the Framework for that.

I got his code to work after I realized I needed to divide everything by
255.

Thanks,
Paul

The convention in notation for such colour spaces is to define the range
between 0 and 1 using floats or doubles to provide the fractions.

RGB is often described in this way too in "real" graphics systems such as
OpenGL or other 2D / 3D rendering systems. GDI+ has a lot of GDI's legacy
oddness about it.
