Description:
--------------------
LibPhinixFunctions

This simple library consolidates various useful tricks and techniques I have picked up over my years of LUA coding and used in various of my addon projects. New functions will be included as needed/requested.

To use the library first add it to your addon manifest:
## DependsOn: LibPhinixFunctions>=9

Then define it somewhere in your addon where you want to use it:
local PF = LibPhinixFunctions

Functions can them be called like so:
(Here 'color' and 'text' would be value you pass the function. See below for more info.)
PF.TColor(color, text)


Chat commands:

/pfdebug on -Enables debug text output.

/pfdebug off -Disables debug text output (default ).



CURRENT AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS:


PF.SubExtendedASCII(iString) --Convert accented letters to standard ASCII equivalent using extended ASCII lookup table.



iString = Input string to convert accented characters from.

local oString (output string) = PF.SubExtendedASCII(iString)

Can also do:
aString = PF.SubExtendedASCII(aString)
PF.Hex2RGB(hex) --Gets { r=r, g=g, b=b, a=a } table for LibAddonMenu colopicker from hex color value.

Gets the RGB value needed for LibAddonMenu color picker settings from a hex format variable used in text string coloring.
For example, you have a saved variable such as Addon.ASV.textColor = "ffffff" you use to set text labels: Label:SetText("|c"..Addon.ASV.textColor..SomeText.."|r")
If you want to allow users to pick the color used through LibAddonMenu colorpicker you can make the GetFunc Hex2RGB(textColor):
getFunc = function()
return PF.Hex2RGB(Addon.ASV.textColor)
