CIE Colorspace Conversions

Greetings,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to probe for interest, but I
figured I'd give it a shot.

Recently, a project I undertook at work required us to convert between
the various CIE color spaces (XYZ, Lab, LCH, Luv, etc.). I looked long
and hard but didn't find any Python library that did this, I was able to
find JavaScript and C-based implementations , but that's about it. For a
good example of the kinds of conversions I am referring to, see:
http://brucelindbloom.com/ColorCalculator.html

This is likely only to interest those in the Graphic Communications
industry (notably printers and anyone else having to deal with color
science), but I'm curious to see if anyone out there in the Python
community would have any use for a color conversion library. If I've
missed an existing implementation, feel free to point it my way as well.

I'd love to eventually be able to quickly convert between color spaces
and perform comparisons like Delta E without having to worry about doing
said conversions manually. I'm not too sure this excites anyone else,
though!

I wanted to know the order of implicit conversions and which sort of values allow them. From searching around in books and the archive of this mailing list, it seems to be that only numbers are implicitly converted within each other and bools can be implicitly converted to ints? However, I'm unable to find any other implicit conversions and the order of the implicit conversions (something like int->float->long). Any help would be greatly...

Let me see if I got this :) 1. I know the rules for type conversions in arithmetic expressions 2. I know that an implicit type conversion is done at assignment, so float x = 1.23; int t = (int) x; is equivalent to int t = x; (could the latter produce a warning on some complier?) 3. I know that implicit conversions take place with function arguments, but am a bit shaky here. I suppose that passing a char to a function accepting

Hi all, I am a newbie in C and i want to know what all pointer conversions are "legal" according to ANSI C standard. For Example, int* to char*, some_struct* to char* and so on .. According to me, since any pointer can be cast to void* and void * can be cast to any other pointer so this implies that any pointer can be cast to any other pointer. Is that so?

Hi all, A variable with an enumerated type can be set with a value from any other generic "enum" type in the program, or with an integer value, without notice to the user, neither at compilation nor at execution. How can I make this IMPOSSIBLE (so that ONLY a value from the expected enumerated type can be fed to the variable, with no implicit conversion allowed ?).

Hi. I would like to know whether it is possible - without manually reading the raw image stream - to determine the colorspace used in an image as represented by a System.Drawing.Image. I want to be able to detect whether images uses the RGB, CMYK or another color space.

If a class inherits from another class, say Form inherits from control, then I can assign the Form to a variable of type Control without needing an explicit conversion, eg Form1 f = new Form1(); Control c = f; An enum value inherits from int but it doesn't get implicitly converted: HorizontalAlignment h = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

I have an implicit conversion set up in an assembly from a Stream to something else. In C#, it works. In VB it does not. Does VB support implicit conversions?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
