colour.plotting.single_spd_plot

colour.plotting.single_spd_plot(spd, cmfs='CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer', out_of_gamut_clipping=True, **kwargs)

Plots given spectral power distribution.

Parameters:

• spd (SpectralPowerDistribution) – Spectral power distribution to plot.
• out_of_gamut_clipping (bool, optional) – Whether to clip out of gamut colours otherwise, the colours will be offset by the absolute minimal colour leading to a rendering on gray background, less saturated and smoother.
• cmfs (unicode) – Standard observer colour matching functions used for spectrum creation.

Other Parameters:  

**kwargs (dict, optional) – {colour.plotting.render()}, Please refer to the documentation of the previously listed definition.

Returns:

Current figure or None.

Return type:

Figure
