class colour.algebra.Extrapolator(interpolator=None, method=u'Linear', left=None, right=None)[source]

Bases: object

Extrapolates the 1-D function of given interpolator.

The Extrapolator class acts as a wrapper around a given Colour or scipy interpolator class instance with compatible signature. Two extrapolation methods are available:

  • Linear: Linearly extrapolates given points using the slope defined by the interpolator boundaries (xi[0], xi[1]) if x < xi[0] and (xi[-1], xi[-2]) if x > xi[-1].
  • Constant: Extrapolates given points by assigning the interpolator boundaries values xi[0] if x < xi[0] and xi[-1] if x > xi[-1].

Specifying the left and right arguments takes precedence on the chosen extrapolation method and will assign the respective left and right values to the given points.

Parameters:
  • interpolator (object) – Interpolator object.
  • method (unicode, optional) – {‘Linear’, ‘Constant’}, Extrapolation method.
  • left (numeric, optional) – Value to return for x < xi[0].
  • right (numeric, optional) – Value to return for x > xi[-1].
__class__()

Notes

The interpolator must define x and y attributes.

Examples

Extrapolating a single numeric variable:

>>> from colour.algebra import LinearInterpolator
>>> x = np.array([3, 4, 5])
>>> y = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> interpolator = LinearInterpolator(x, y)
>>> extrapolator = Extrapolator(interpolator)
>>> extrapolator(1)
-1.0

Extrapolating an array_like variable:

>>> extrapolator(np.array([6, 7 , 8]))
array([ 4.,  5.,  6.])

Using the Constant extrapolation method:

>>> x = np.array([3, 4, 5])
>>> y = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> interpolator = LinearInterpolator(x, y)
>>> extrapolator = Extrapolator(interpolator, method='Constant')
>>> extrapolator(np.array([0.1, 0.2, 8, 9]))
array([ 1.,  1.,  3.,  3.])

Using defined left boundary and Constant extrapolation method:

>>> x = np.array([3, 4, 5])
>>> y = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> interpolator = LinearInterpolator(x, y)
>>> extrapolator = Extrapolator(interpolator, method='Constant', left=0)

The doctest is assuming that np.random.RandomState() definition will return the same sequence no matter which OS or Python version is used.
