ColorTemperature

It is a part of kch-rgbw-lib. See README.md for general information. Functions in this documents are in CIE 1931 chromaticity for (x, y) and in Kelvin for blackbody temperature k.

Code snippet

In TypeScript/ES2015:

import { CSpace, CSpaceTypes } from 'kch-rgbw-lib';
import { k2x, k2y, xy2k, fadeOutK, fadeInK } from 'kch-rgbw-lib';

API

Functions

k2x(k: number): number
k2y(k: number): number

Return (x, y) chromaticity of black body corresponding to the given color temperature in K.

xy2k(xy: CSpace): number
xy2k(x: number, y: number): number

Return correlated color temperature (CCT) corresponding to (x, y) chromaticity. xy should be in 'xy' or 'xyY' of CSpaceTypes. Other types will throw an exception. Optimized McCamy's approximation is used. Note that returned CCT is physically meaningful only when (x, y) is on or near the white light. In particular, the area between blue and red is very inaccurate as shown in the color mapping of the returned temperature.

xy2k

Although CCT by McCamy's approximation is known that it's isotherms are less accurate than other methods, it gives the smallest error in [1000, 7000] k according to my experiment.

fadeOutK(xy0: CSpace, steps: number, fade?: (r: number) => number): CSpace[]
fadeInK(xy0: CSpace, steps: number, fade?: (r: number) => number): CSpace[]

Return array of CSpace, filling with interpolated points starting/ending at xy0. xy0 should be in 'xy' or 'xyY' of CSpaceTypes. Other types will throw an exception. fadeOutK() ends / fadeInK() starts at the point where color temperature is 1000 K. fade() is a function used to interpolate between the start and end points. fade() is called repeatedly with changing r from 0 to 1, like:

const p: CSpace[] = new Array(steps) as CSpace[];
for (let i=0; i<steps; i++) {
  const r = fade(i / steps);
  (interpolate start (x,y) and end (x,y) by r)
  (interpolate colorTemperature of (x,y) and 1000 by r)
  p[i] = { interpolated x, y, k };
}

It is intended to mimicking lamp gradually turning off/on.

fadeOutK

Note: when (x,y) is far from the black body curve, it behaves odd, due to the limitation of xy2k().
