colour.colorimetry.sd_gaussian_fwhm¶

colour.colorimetry.sd_gaussian_fwhm(peak_wavelength, fwhm, shape=SpectralShape(360, 780, 1))[source]¶

Returns a gaussian spectral distribution of given spectral shape at given peak wavelength and full width at half maximum.

Parameters:	peak_wavelength (numeric) – Wavelength the gaussian spectral distribution will peak at. fwhm (numeric) – Full width at half maximum, i.e. width of the gaussian spectral distribution measured between those points on the y axis which are half the maximum amplitude. shape (SpectralShape, optional) – Spectral shape used to create the spectral distribution.
Returns:	Gaussian spectral distribution.
Return type:	SpectralDistribution

Notes

By default, the spectral distribution will use the shape given by colour.DEFAULT_SPECTRAL_SHAPE attribute.
