colour.plotting.plot_single_sd

colour.plotting.plot_single_sd(sd, cmfs='CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer', out_of_gamut_clipping=True, **kwargs)[source]

Plots given spectral distribution.

Parameters:
  • sd (SpectralDistribution) – Spectral 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.artist(), colour.plotting.render()}, Please refer to the documentation of the previously listed definitions.
Returns:

Current figure and axes.
Return type:

tuple
