colour.temperature.CCT_to_xy_McCamy1992#
- colour.temperature.CCT_to_xy_McCamy1992(CCT: ArrayLike, optimisation_kwargs: dict | None = None) NDArrayFloat [source]#
Return the CIE xy chromaticity coordinates from given correlated colour temperature \(T_{cp}\) using McCamy (1992) method.
- Parameters:
CCT (ArrayLike) – Correlated colour temperature \(T_{cp}\).
optimisation_kwargs (dict | None) – Parameters for
scipy.optimize.minimize()
definition.
- Returns:
CIE xy chromaticity coordinates.
- Return type:
Warning
McCamy (1992) method for computing CIE xy chromaticity coordinates from given correlated colour temperature is not a bijective function and might produce unexpected results. It is given for consistency with other correlated colour temperature computation methods but should be avoided for practical applications. The current implementation relies on optimisation using
scipy.optimize.minimize()
definition and thus has reduced precision and poor performance.References
