+LIBCOLOUR_CIEXYY - CIE xyY
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+CIE xyY colours are presented with either of

+These

+use
+.BR float ,
+.BR double ,
+and
+.BR long\ double ,
+respecitively, for the values stored in them,
+and are otherwise identical.

+.I .model
+shall be set to
+.BR LIBCOLOUR_CIEXYY .
+In
+.BR union\ libcolour_colour_f ,
+.BR union\ libcolour_colour_lf ,
+and
+.BR union\ libcolour_colour_llf ,
+.I .ciexyy
+is used for CIE xyY colours.
+.P
+.IR .x ,
+.IR .y ,
+and
+.I .Y
+hold the unscaled x, y, and Y values, respectively.
+.P
+CIE xyY is not additive, nor is it linearily
+isomorphic to CIE 1931 XYZ. Rather, it is defined by
+x = X/(X + Y + Z), y = Y/(X + Y + Z), where X, Y, and
+Z are the CIE 1931 XYZ values (with the same names)
+for the same colour. The value Y is the same in both
+colour models.
+.P
+This colour model is derived from CIE 1931 XYZ and
+is primarily used for representing chromaticities.
