Change texture color

[climber]

Total pixi noob here. 

I'm loading in a texture from an image file and need to dynamically change its color. The image is basically a flat wave-like shape that I want to be able to make different colors dynamically. I tried tinting a sprite but that only tints and doesn't make the color 100% opaque. 

What's the proper way to do this? Some sort of filter? I figure the answer to this is really simple, but I've poked around the API and am not seeing it. Thanks for any help!

What mathematical operation do you want to apply to your texture RGBA?

[climber]

It can be RGBA or a hex as long as it's solid, such as 0xff0000 or #ff0000.

What I do for tinting is use a white texture to start with.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean to have the wave image itself be white and then do what? Tint it?

[fire7side]

Yeah.  I don't know what the wave image is, but for mine, I use a white png image usually, and then set the tint to give it a color.  I get the tint off of gimp color picker, but have to set the first two digits to 0x and then the 16 digit numbers, like 0xFFFFFF.

Sweet, this totally works! I tried tinting before from a colored graphic which yielded weird results. Having a white base image works perfectly though.

Really appreciate your help! Thank you.

@fire7side you rock

There are a number of ways of changing colors of picture, different shader and blendmodes (not all of blendmodes are possible in webgl). If you want to do something, first post how exactly do you think that thing must convert single pixel, then find the name of that effect
