.TH LIBCOLOUR 7 libcolour
.SH NAME
libcolour - A C colour space library
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B libcolour
is C library for colour space conversions.
.B libcolour
provides conversion between a large number of colour
spaces, including many different RGB colour spaces.
It also supports encode and non-encoded representations.
libcolour futhermore provides access to custom RGB
colour spaces.
.P
To use libcolour, include the header file
.B <libcolour.h>
and link with
.B -lcolour
.BR -lm .
.SH COLOUR MODELS
.B libcolour
supports a number of colour models. A colour model
is specified with a value of
.nf

	\fBtypedef enum libcolour_model libcolour_model_t;\fP

.fi
The colour models can listed using the macros
.nf

	\fBLIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS\fP(\fIMACRO\fP, \fITYPE_AFFIX\fP)

.fi
or
.nf

	\fBLIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS_N\fP(\fIMACRO\fP, \fITYPE_AFFIX\fP, ...)

.fi
where
.I MACRO
is the macro that shall be expanded, and
.I TYPE_AFFIX
shall be
.BR f ,
.BR lf ,
or
.BR llf
for
.BR float -typed,
.BR double -typed,
and
.BR long\ double -typed
colour module stuctures, respectively.
.B LIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS
expands
.I MACRO
with three parameters:
.B enum libcolour_model
value of the colour model,
.BR typedef -name
of
.B struct
used to store colours of the colour model,
and the name of the member in
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_f ,
.BR union\ libcolour_colour_lf ,
and
.B union libcolour_colour_llf
that is used to store a colour with the colour model.
.B LIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS_N
is identical to
.B LIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS
except allows the programmer to specify additional
parameters to pass
.I MACRO
when it is expanded.
.P
There there are three
.BR struct s
defined for each colour model, the first member
in each
.B struct
is
.nf

	\fBenum libcolour_model model;\fP

.fi
The three
.BR struct s
for each colour model are for different data types:
.BR float ,
.BR double ,
and
.BR long\ double .
For example, for sRGB, the follow
.BR struct s
are defined:
.nf

	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_srgb_f libcolour_srgb_f_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_srgb_lf libcolour_srgb_lf_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef struct libcolour_srgb_llf libcolour_srgb_llf_t;\fP

.fi
for
.BR float ,
.BR double ,
and
.BR long\ double ,
respectively. Similarly,
.nf

	\fBtypedef union libcolour_colour_f libcolour_colour_f_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef union libcolour_colour_lf libcolour_colour_lf_t;\fP
	\fBtypedef union libcolour_colour_llf libcolour_colour_llf_t;\fP

.fi
are used for
.BR float ,
.BR double ,
and
.BR long\ double ,
respectively, and all have the member
.nf

	\fBenum libcolour_model model;\fP

.fi
The
.BR struct s
are
.I not
padded to be of the same size.
.P
.B <libcolour.h>
defines
.BR struct s
the following for colour models:

.SH ILLUMINANTS
.B libcolour
provides a number of initialiser macros for standard
illuminants. The following macros expand to a
.B libcolour_ciexyy_f_t
with the standard 2 degrees observer value in CIE
xyY, each have a supplementary 10 degrees observer
counterpart using suffix
.BR _10DEG_OBS ,
both with the Y value set to 1. Additionally, each
macro, including the
.B _10DEG_OBS
variants, have a variant that uses the
.B _LF
affix that expands to a
.B libcolour_ciexyy_lf_t
and a variant that uses the
.B _LLF
affix that expands to a
.B libcolour_ciexyy_llf_t
in addition to the listed variants that uses
the
.B _F
affix.
