colour.utilities.from_range_degrees#

colour.utilities.from_range_degrees(a: ArrayLike, scale_factor: ArrayLike = 360, dtype: Type[DTypeFloat] | None = None) ndarray[Any, dtype[_ScalarType_co]][source]#

Scale given array \(a\) from degrees range. The behaviour is as follows:

  • If Colour domain-range scale is ‘Reference’, the definition is entirely by-passed.

  • If Colour domain-range scale is ‘1’, array \(a\) is divided by scale_factor, typically 360.

  • If Colour domain-range scale is ‘100’ (currently unsupported private value only used for unit tests), array \(a\) is divided by scale_factor / 100, typically 360 / 100.

Parameters:
  • a (ArrayLike) – Array \(a\) to scale from degrees range.

  • scale_factor (ArrayLike) – Scale factor, usually numeric but can be a numpy.ndarray if some axis need different scaling to be brought from degrees range.

  • dtype (Type[DTypeFloat] | None) – Data type used for the conversion to np.ndarray.

Returns:

Array \(a\) scaled from degrees range.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Warning

The scale conversion of variable \(a\) happens in-place, i.e. \(a\) will be mutated!

Examples

With Colour domain-range scale set to ‘Reference’:

>>> with domain_range_scale("Reference"):
...     from_range_degrees(1)
array(1.0)

With Colour domain-range scale set to ‘1’:

>>> with domain_range_scale("1"):
...     from_range_degrees(1)  
array(0.0027777...)

With Colour domain-range scale set to ‘100’ (unsupported):

>>> with domain_range_scale("100"):
...     from_range_degrees(1)  
array(0.2777777...)
