colour.SpectralDistribution

class colour.SpectralDistribution(data: Optional[Union[ArrayLike, dict, Series, Signal, SpectralDistribution]] = None, domain: Optional[Union[ArrayLike, SpectralShape]] = None, **kwargs: Any)[source]

Bases: colour.continuous.signal.Signal

Define the spectral distribution: the base object for spectral computations.

The spectral distribution will be initialised according to CIE 15:2004 recommendation: the method developed by Sprague (1880) will be used for interpolating functions having a uniformly spaced independent variable and the Cubic Spline method for non-uniformly spaced independent variable. Extrapolation is performed according to CIE 167:2005 recommendation.

Important

Specific documentation about getting, setting, indexing and slicing the spectral power distribution values is available in the Spectral Representation and Continuous Signal section.

Parameters
  • data (Optional[Union[ArrayLike, dict, Series, Signal, SpectralDistribution]]) – Data to be stored in the spectral distribution.

  • domain (Optional[Union[ArrayLike, SpectralShape]]) – Values to initialise the colour.SpectralDistribution.wavelength property with. If both data and domain arguments are defined, the latter will be used to initialise the colour.SpectralDistribution.wavelength property.

  • extrapolator – Extrapolator class type to use as extrapolating function.

  • extrapolator_kwargs – Arguments to use when instantiating the extrapolating function.

  • interpolator – Interpolator class type to use as interpolating function.

  • interpolator_kwargs – Arguments to use when instantiating the interpolating function.

  • name – Spectral distribution name.

  • strict_name – Spectral distribution name for figures, default to colour.SpectralDistribution.name property value.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Notes

  • A spectral distribution with a non-uniformly spaced independent variable have multiple intervals, in that case colour.SpectralDistribution.shape property returns the minimum interval size.

Examples

Shape of a spectral distribution with a uniformly spaced independent variable:

>>> data = {
...     500: 0.0651,
...     520: 0.0705,
...     540: 0.0772,
...     560: 0.0870,
...     580: 0.1128,
...     600: 0.1360
... }
>>> SpectralDistribution(data).shape
SpectralShape(500.0, 600.0, 20.0)

Shape of a spectral distribution with a non-uniformly spaced independent variable:

>>> data[510] = 0.31416
>>> SpectralDistribution(data).shape
SpectralShape(500.0, 600.0, 10.0)
interpolate(shape: colour.colorimetry.spectrum.SpectralShape, interpolator: Optional[Type[colour.hints.TypeInterpolator]] = None, interpolator_kwargs: Optional[Dict] = None) colour.colorimetry.spectrum.SpectralDistribution[source]

Interpolate the spectral distribution in-place according to CIE 167:2005 recommendation (if the interpolator has not been changed at instantiation time) or given interpolation arguments.

The logic for choosing the interpolator class when interpolator is not given is as follows:

if self.interpolator not in (SpragueInterpolator,
                             CubicSplineInterpolator):
    interpolator = self.interpolator
elif self.is_uniform():
    interpolator = SpragueInterpolator
else:
    interpolator = CubicSplineInterpolator

The logic for choosing the interpolator keyword arguments when interpolator_kwargs is not given is as follows:

if self.interpolator not in (SpragueInterpolator,
                             CubicSplineInterpolator):
    interpolator_kwargs = self.interpolator_kwargs
else:
    interpolator_kwargs = {}
Parameters
Returns

Interpolated spectral distribution.

Return type

colour.SpectralDistribution

Notes

Warning

  • Cubic Spline interpolator requires at least 3 wavelengths \(\lambda_n\) for interpolation.

  • Sprague (1880) interpolator requires at least 6 wavelengths \(\lambda_n\) for interpolation.

Align the spectral distribution in-place to given spectral shape: Interpolates first then extrapolates to fit the given range.

Interpolation is performed according to CIE 167:2005 recommendation (if the interpolator has not been changed at instantiation time) or given interpolation arguments.

The logic for choosing the interpolator class when interpolator is not given is as follows:

if self.interpolator not in (SpragueInterpolator,
                             CubicSplineInterpolator):
    interpolator = self.interpolator
elif self.is_uniform():
    interpolator = SpragueInterpolator
else:
    interpolator = CubicSplineInterpolator

The logic for choosing the interpolator keyword arguments when interpolator_kwargs is not given is as follows:

if self.interpolator not in (SpragueInterpolator,
                             CubicSplineInterpolator):
    interpolator_kwargs = self.interpolator_kwargs
else:
    interpolator_kwargs = {}
Parameters
Returns

Aligned spectral distribution.

Return type

colour.SpectralDistribution
