colour.models.logarithmic_function_basic

colour.models.logarithmic_function_basic(x, style='log2', base=2)

Defines the basic logarithmic function.

Parameters

• x (numeric) – The data to undergo basic logarithmic conversion.

• style (unicode, optional) –

  {‘log10’, ‘antiLog10’, ‘log2’, ‘antiLog2’, ‘logB’, ‘antiLogB’}, Defines the behaviour for the logarithmic function to operate:

  • log10: Applies a base 10 logarithm to the passed value.

  • antiLog10: Applies a base 10 anti-logarithm to the passed value.

  • log2: Applies a base 2 logarithm to the passed value.

  • antiLog2: Applies a base 2 anti-logarithm to the passed value.

  • logB: Applies an arbitrary base logarithm to the passed value.

  • antiLogB: Applies an arbitrary base anti-logarithm to the passed value.

• base (numeric, optional) – Logarithmic base used for the conversion.

Returns

Logarithmically converted data.

Return type

numeric or ndarray

Raises

ValueError – If the style is not defined.
