Hi,

For a good discussion of the link between colour and spectra I would suggest,

http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/specrend/

which provides an open-source C code to perform the conversion you ask for. I asked for some advice on how to wrap a R function around this code last week but sadly I didn't get anywhere. Do let me know if you succeed. (alternatively, one could port the implementation in pure R as the code is not too complicated or computationally demanding).

Hope this helps,

baptiste

Hi there,

I try to plot visible light spectrum (380nm~780nm) with color
corresponding to the specific wavelength. However, I don't find a
function that could do this.

Another question, it's possible to plot a color space chromaticity
diagram like this:

Thanks in advance!
