Do you need to pick the smallest color to color a vertex?

Do you need to pick the smallest color to color a vertex?

To color this vertex, we need to pick the smallest numbered color that is not used by the adjacent vertices. If colors are numbered like 1, 2, …., then the value of such smallest number must be between 1 to d+1 (Note that d numbers are already picked by adjacent vertices). This can also be proved using induction. See this video lecture for proof.

Can a vertex be attached to more than d vertices?

Since d is maximum degree, a vertex cannot be attached to more than d vertices. When we color a vertex, at most d colors could have already been used by its adjacent. To color this vertex, we need to pick the smallest numbered color that is not used by the adjacent vertices.

How many colors do you need to color a graph?

Note that in graph on right side, vertices 3 and 4 are swapped. If we consider the vertices 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 in left graph, we can color the graph using 3 colors. But if we consider the vertices 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 in right graph, we need 4 colors. So the order in which the vertices are picked is important.

Is there a greedy algorithm to assign colors?

Following is the basic Greedy Algorithm to assign colors. It doesn’t guarantee to use minimum colors, but it guarantees an upper bound on the number of colors.

How to assign different colors to each vertex?

It has to be geometry.vertexColors instead of geometry.colors (push a colour per vertex). I’m using version 71. Lee’s answer probably still works, but seemed very convoluted.

How are vertex shaders used to apply color?

Previously, our vertex shader didn’t apply any specific colors to the vertices; between this and the fragment shader assigning the fixed color of white to each pixel, the entire square was rendered as solid white. Let’s say we want to render a gradient in which each corner of the square is a different color: red, blue, green, and white.

How is color applied to vertices in WebGL?

Applying color to the vertices. In WebGL, objects are built using sets of vertices, each of which has a position and a color; by default, all other pixels’ colors (and all its other attributes, including position) are computed using interpolation, automatically creating smooth gradients.

Is it possible to set colors to the vertices of a face?

Lee’s answer probably still works, but seemed very convoluted. Hopefully this answer is less terrifying looking. It kind of sucks that the colors are assigned to the vertices of the face instead of the vertices of the geometry, as this means you’ll have to set them repeatedly.
