YCoCg, like HLS and HSV, seems to not really be a colour space because it isn't well specified. A transformation is given from some unknown RGB space. Perhaps I should make a datatype for unknown RGB triple, and create HLS HSV, and YCoCg transforms from this type. I can have toRGB709 and toSRGB take and return this unknown RGB triple type. This would suggest changing sRGB and rgb709 from the type sRGB :: a - a - a - Colour a to sRGB :: RGB a - Colour a so the code sRGB r g b becomes sRGB (RGB r g b). That doesn't seem very nice. Also, I could add phantom type annotations to the RGB triple type, allowing it to be labeled as linear, or nonlinear, or other information. -- Russell O'Connor http://r6.ca/ ``All talk about `theft,''' the general counsel of the American Graphophone Company wrote, ``is the merest claptrap, for there exists no property in ideas musical, literary or artistic, except as defined by statute.'' ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Most software does not properly blend colours because they fail to gamma-correct the colours before blending. Hopefully by using this library, Haskell programs dealing with colour blending will avoid this problem. I am making an early release of my colour library to get some feedback. I am especially interested in getting feedback on the interfaces: should functions be renamed, should functions be moved, etc. Should I put black and white colours into Data.Colour? Which is better form making a colour: (sRGB r g b) or (sRGB (r,g,b))? Bug reports and any patches are also welcome. Be warned, I haven't extensively tested this library yet. I think it would be nice to have conversion functions for wxHaskell and the like, to convert between the different color representations. -- Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://functor.bamikanarie.com http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ -- ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
