Joe,
If you are working with color space manipulations, you might also
want to look at the image3 addon (available from Jsoftware) and
various image scripts on my J pages
http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reiterc/j/index.html
one of which is

Best,

Joe,

When you have a dyadic verb (one which takes both a left and a right
argument), and you want to apply that verb to different size pieces
("cells") of the arguments, use the rank conjunction " .
In your case, you want to pair the rows of the left argument with the table
of the right argument.  Rows have one dimension, and so are rank  1  ,
tables have two dimensions, and so are rank  2  .  Consequently, you want to
do:


short_data =: }:"1 data

                short_data  x"1 2  yuvmat


which results in an  N  by  3  table, where  N  is  #data  .  I, personally,
would write:


                short_data  x"_1 _  yuvmat


which means "pair the /items/ of the left argument with the /entire/ of the
right argument.".  The items of  short_data  happen to be rows, and the
entire of yuvmat happens to be a table. The results are unchanged.
Essentially, what  "  does is pair up the requested parts ("cells") of the
two arguments, then applies the verb between them.  That is, for each item
(row) in short_data, it takes a copy of the entire (table) yuvmat, and
matrix-multiplies the two.  You can experiment with other cells:

                show_pairings =: ,&:<

                short_data   show_pairings"1 2    yuvmat
                short_data   show_pairings"_1 _   yuvmat
                short_data   show_pairings"0 2    yuvmat
                short_data   show_pairings"1 0    yuvmat


Hope this helps,
-Dan
