colour.algebra.ellipse_coefficients_canonical_form(coefficients)[source]

Returns the canonical form ellipse coefficients from given general form ellipse coefficients.

The general form ellipse coefficients are the coefficients of the implicit second-order polynomial/quadratic curve expressed as follows:

\(F\left(x, y\right)\) = ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0`

with an ellipse-specific constraint such as \(b^2 -4ac < 0\) and where \(a, b, c, d, e, f\) are coefficients of the ellipse and \(F\left(x, y\right)\) are coordinates of points lying on it.

Parameters:coefficients (array_like) – General form ellipse coefficients.
Returns:Canonical form ellipse coefficients.
Return type:ndarray
