# colour.continuous.AbstractContinuousFunction¶

class colour.continuous.AbstractContinuousFunction(name=None)[source]

Defines the base class for abstract continuous function.

This is an ABCMeta abstract class that must be inherited by sub-classes.

The sub-classes are expected to implement the colour.continuous.AbstractContinuousFunction.function() method so that evaluating the function for any independent domain $$x \in \mathbb{R}$$ variable returns a corresponding range $$y \in \mathbb{R}$$ variable. A conventional implementation adopts an interpolating function encapsulated inside an extrapolating function. The resulting function independent domain, stored as discrete values in the colour.continuous.AbstractContinuousFunction.domain attribute corresponds with the function dependent and already known range stored in the colour.continuous.AbstractContinuousFunction.range attribute.

Parameters: name (unicode, optional) – Continuous function name.

Methods

 __init__([name]) arithmetical_operation(a, operation[, in_place]) Performs given arithmetical operation with $$a$$ operand, the operation can be either performed on a copy or in-place, must be reimplemented by sub-classes. copy() Returns a copy of the sub-class instance, must be reimplemented by sub-classes. domain_distance(a) Returns the euclidean distance between given array and independent domain $$x$$ closest element. fill_nan([method, default]) Fill NaNs in independent domain $$x$$ variable and corresponding range $$y$$ variable using given method, must be reimplemented by sub-classes. is_uniform() Returns if independent domain $$x$$ variable is uniform.
