Class ColorSpace
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
- Direct Known Subclasses:
ICC_ColorSpace
Color
object or, via a ColorModel
object, of an Image
, a BufferedImage
, or a
GraphicsDevice
. It contains methods that transform colors in a
specific color space to/from sRGB and to/from a well-defined CIEXYZ color
space.
For purposes of the methods in this class, colors are represented as arrays
of color components represented as floats in a normalized range defined by
each ColorSpace
. For many ColorSpaces
(e.g. sRGB), this range
is 0.0 to 1.0. However, some ColorSpaces
have components whose values
have a different range. Methods are provided to inquire per component minimum
and maximum normalized values.
Several variables are defined for purposes of referring to color space types
(e.g. TYPE_RGB
, TYPE_XYZ
, etc.) and to refer to specific
color spaces (e.g. CS_sRGB
and CS_CIEXYZ
). sRGB is a proposed
standard RGB color space. For more information, see
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html.
The purpose of the methods to transform to/from the well-defined CIEXYZ color
space is to support conversions between any two color spaces at a reasonably
high degree of accuracy. It is expected that particular implementations of
subclasses of ColorSpace
(e.g. ICC_ColorSpace
) will support
high performance conversion based on underlying platform color management
systems.
The CS_CIEXYZ
space used by the toCIEXYZ/fromCIEXYZ
methods
can be described as follows:
CIEXYZ viewing illuminance: 200 lux viewing white point: CIE D50 media white point: "that of a perfectly reflecting diffuser" -- D50 media black point: 0 lux or 0 Reflectance flare: 1 percent surround: 20percent of the media white point media description: reflection print (i.e., RLAB, Hunt viewing media) note: For developers creating an ICC profile for this conversion space, the following is applicable. Use a simple Von Kries white point adaptation folded into the 3X3 matrix parameters and fold the flare and surround effects into the three one-dimensional lookup tables (assuming one uses the minimal model for monitors).

toRGB
public abstract float[] toRGB(float[] colorvalue) Transforms a color value assumed to be in thisColorSpace
into a value in the defaultCS_sRGB
color space.This method transforms color values using algorithms designed to produce the best perceptual match between input and output colors. In order to do colorimetric conversion of color values, you should use the
toCIEXYZ
method of this color space to first convert from the input color space to the CS_CIEXYZ color space, and then use thefromCIEXYZ
method of theCS_sRGB
color space to convert fromCS_CIEXYZ
to the output color space. SeetoCIEXYZ
andfromCIEXYZ
for further information.- Parameters:
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least the number of components in thisColorSpace
- Returns:
- a float array of length 3
- Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least the number of components in thisColorSpace
NullPointerException
- ifcolorvalue

fromRGB
public abstract float[] fromRGB(float[] rgbvalue) Transforms a color value assumed to be in the defaultCS_sRGB
color space into thisColorSpace
.This method transforms color values using algorithms designed to produce the best perceptual match between input and output colors. In order to do colorimetric conversion of color values, you should use the
toCIEXYZ
method of theCS_sRGB
color space to first convert from the input color space to theCS_CIEXYZ
color space, and then use thefromCIEXYZ
method of this color space to convert fromCS_CIEXYZ
to the output color space. SeetoCIEXYZ
andfromCIEXYZ
for further information.- Parameters:
rgbvalue
- a float array with length of at least 3- Returns:
- a float array with length equal to the number of components in
this
ColorSpace

toCIEXYZ
public abstract float[] toCIEXYZ(float[] colorvalue) Transforms a color value assumed to be in thisColorSpace
into theCS_CIEXYZ
conversion color space.This method transforms color values using relative colorimetry, as defined by the International Color Consortium standard. This means that the XYZ values returned by this method are represented relative to the D50 white point of the
CS_CIEXYZ
color space. This representation is useful in a two-step color conversion process in which colors are transformed from an input color space toCS_CIEXYZ
and then to an output color space. This representation is not the same as the XYZ values that would be measured from the given color value by a colorimeter. A further transformation is necessary to compute the XYZ values that would be measured using current CIE recommended practices. See thetoCIEXYZ
method ofICC_ColorSpace
for further information.- Parameters:
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least the number of components in thisColorSpace
- Returns:
- a float array of length 3
- Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least the number of components in thisColorSpace
NullPointerException
- ifcolorvalue
isnull
-
fromCIEXYZ
public abstract float[] fromCIEXYZ(float[] colorvalue) Transforms a color value assumed to be in theCS_CIEXYZ
conversion color space into thisColorSpace
.This method transforms color values using relative colorimetry, as defined by the International Color Consortium standard. This means that the XYZ argument values taken by this method are represented relative to the D50 white point of the
CS_CIEXYZ
color space. This representation is useful in a two-step color conversion process in which colors are transformed from an input color space toCS_CIEXYZ
and then to an output color space. The color values returned by this method are not those that would produce the XYZ value passed to the method when measured by a colorimeter. If you have XYZ values corresponding to measurements made using current CIE recommended practices, they must be converted to D50 relative values before being passed to this method. See thefromCIEXYZ
method ofICC_ColorSpace
for further information.- Parameters:
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least 3- Returns:
- a float array with length equal to the number of components in
this
ColorSpace
- Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least 3NullPointerException
- ifcolorvalue
isnull
-
getType
public int getType()Returns the color space type of thisColorSpace
(for exampleTYPE_RGB
,TYPE_XYZ
, ...). The type defines the number of components of the color space and the interpretation, e.g.TYPE_RGB
identifies a color space with three components - red, green, and blue. It does not define the particular color characteristics of the space, e.g. the chromaticities of the primaries.- Returns:
- the type constant that represents the type of this
ColorSpace
-
getNumComponents
public int getNumComponents()Returns the number of components of this ColorSpace.- Returns:
- the number of components in this
ColorSpace

getMinValue
public float getMinValue(int component) Returns the minimum normalized color component value for the specified component. The default implementation in this abstract class returns 0.0 for all components. Subclasses should override this method if necessary.- Parameters:
component
- the component index- Returns:
- the minimum normalized component value
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if component is less than 0 or greater thannumComponents - 1
- Since:
- 1.4
