colour.plotting.diagrams.plot_spectral_locus

colour.plotting.diagrams.plot_spectral_locus(cmfs='CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer', spectral_locus_colours=None, spectral_locus_labels=None, method='CIE 1931', **kwargs)[source]

Plots the Spectral Locus according to given method.

Parameters

  • cmfs (unicode or XYZ_ColourMatchingFunctions, optional) – Standard observer colour matching functions used for computing the spectral locus boundaries. cmfs can be of any type or form supported by the colour.plotting.filter_cmfs() definition.

  • spectral_locus_colours (array_like or unicode, optional) – Spectral Locus colours, if spectral_locus_colours is set to RGB, the colours will be computed according to the corresponding chromaticity coordinates.

  • spectral_locus_labels (array_like, optional) – Array of wavelength labels used to customise which labels will be drawn around the spectral locus. Passing an empty array will result in no wavelength labels being drawn.

  • method (unicode, optional) – {‘CIE 1931’, ‘CIE 1960 UCS’, ‘CIE 1976 UCS’}, Chromaticity Diagram method.

  • **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
