.SH NAME
LIBCOLOUR_YIQ - YIQ
.SH DESCRIPTION
YIQ colours are presented with either of
.nf

	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_yiq_f libcolour_yiq_f_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_yiq_lf libcolour_yiq_lf_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_yiq_llf libcolour_yiq_llf_t;\fP

.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_yiq_f
is defined as
.nf

	\fBstruct libcolour_yiq_f {\fP
		\fBenum libcolour_model\fP \fImodel\fP\fB;\fP
		\fBfloat\fP \fIY\fP\fB;\fP
		\fBfloat\fP \fII\fP\fB;\fP
		\fBfloat\fP \fIQ\fP\fB;\fP
	\fB};\fP

.fi
.I .model
shall be set to
.BR LIBCOLOUR_YIQ .
In
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_f ,
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_lf ,
and
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_llf ,
.I .yiq
is used for YIQ colours.
.P
.IR .Y ,
.IR .I ,
and
.I .Q
hold the Y (luma), I (in-phase), and
Q (quadrature) values, respectively.
.P
Y is 0 in black and 1 in white.
Negative I values are blue,
positive I values are orange.
Negative Q values are green,
positive Q values are purple.
.P
YIQ is additive, since it is linearly isomorphic
to CIE 1931 XYZ. It's white point is the
CIE Standard Illuminant D65.
