.SH NAME
LIBCOLOUR_YCGCO - YCgCo (YCoCg)
.SH DESCRIPTION
YCgCo colours (also known as YCoCg colours)
are presented with either of
.nf

	typedef struct libcolour_ycgco_f libcolour_ycgco_f_t;
	typedef struct libcolour_ycgco_lf libcolour_ycgco_lf_t;
	typedef struct libcolour_ycgco_llf libcolour_ycgco_llf_t;

.fi
These
.BR struct s
use
.BR float ,
.BR double ,
and
.BR long\ double ,
respecitively, for the values stored in them,
and are otherwise identical.
.B struct libcolour_ycgco_f
is defined as
.nf

	struct libcolour_ycgco_f {
		enum libcolour_model \fImodel\fP;
		float \fIY\fP;
		float \fICg\fP;
		float \fICo\fP;
	};

.fi
.I .model
shall be set to
.BR LIBCOLOUR_YCGCO .
In
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_f ,
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_lf ,
and
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_llf ,
.I .ycgco
is used for YCgCo colours.
.P
.IR .Y ,
.IR .Cg ,
and
.I .Co
hold the Y (luma), Cg (chrominance green), and
Co (chrominance orange) values, respectively.
.P
Y is 0 in black and 1 in white.
.P
YCgCo is additive, since it is linearly isomorphic
to CIE 1931 XYZ. It's white point is the
CIE Standard Illuminant D65.
