[Haskell-cafe] Looking to check on some capabilities of Data.Colour

2009-08-06 Thread Jeff Heard
I was wondering if Data.Colour supported Double-valued colour
components  1.0 or less than 0.  I'm looking to create an HDR image
processing library, and Haskell has one of the most extensive and
correct colour models around, thanks to Russell.  With 16bpcc or
32bpcc images, however, I need to be sure to be able to correctly
calculate colour values that fall outside the usual [0.0,1.0] gamut.
Does Data.Colour support this functionality?

Data.Colour supports values outside the range [0,1] for most computations. 
Components are clamped when extracting to Bounded component types such as 
Word8 (see toSRGBBounded).  There may also some issues with negaive values 
when converting to non-linear coordinate systems via a transfer function. 
This is an area I haven't thought to much about, so there could be a few 
bugs lurking here.  If found they should be fixed, assuming right 
behaviour can be found.

To be slightly more techinical, I want add that Data.Colour.Colour is 
abstract and its interface cares nothing about [0,1].  Gammut issue only 
arise when converting the abstract data type to and from concrete 
coordinates, and which colours are outside [0,1]*[0,1]*[0,1] is coorinate 
system dependent.  Since Data.Colour.Colour is abstract and coordinate 
system indepenent, it cannot (or at least should not) care about such 
issues for oprations that deal only with abstract colours (operations such 
as blending, etc.)

Word8 (see toSRGBBounded).  There may also some issues with negaive values

Excellent.  That's what I wanted to know :-)
