public abstract class ColorSpace extends Object implements Serializable
This abstract class is used to serve as a color space tag to identify the specific color space of a Color object or, via a ColorModel object, of an Image, a BufferedImage, or a GraphicsDevice. It contains methods that transform colors in a specific color space to/from sRGB and to/from a well-defined CIEXYZ color space.For purposes of the methods in this class, colors are represented as arrays of color components represented as floats in a normalized range defined by each ColorSpace. For many ColorSpaces (e.g. sRGB), this range is 0.0 to 1.0. However, some ColorSpaces have components whose values have a different range. Methods are provided to inquire per component minimum and maximum normalized values.
Several variables are defined for purposes of referring to color space types (e.g. TYPE_RGB, TYPE_XYZ, etc.) and to refer to specific color spaces (e.g. CS_sRGB and CS_CIEXYZ). sRGB is a proposed standard RGB color space. For more information, see http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html .
The purpose of the methods to transform to/from the well-defined CIEXYZ color space is to support conversions between any two color spaces at a reasonably high degree of accuracy. It is expected that particular implementations of subclasses of ColorSpace (e.g. ICC_ColorSpace) will support high performance conversion based on underlying platform color management systems.
The CS_CIEXYZ space used by the toCIEXYZ/fromCIEXYZ methods can be described as follows:
CIEXYZ viewing illuminance: 200 lux viewing white point: CIE D50 media white point: "that of a perfectly reflecting diffuser" -- D50 media black point: 0 lux or 0 Reflectance flare: 1 percent surround: 20percent of the media white point media description: reflection print (i.e., RLAB, Hunt viewing media) note: For developers creating an ICC profile for this conversion space, the following is applicable. Use a simple Von Kries white point adaptation folded into the 3X3 matrix parameters and fold the flare and surround effects into the three one-dimensional lookup tables (assuming one uses the minimal model for monitors).

toRGB
public abstract float[] toRGB(float[] colorvalue)
Transforms a color value assumed to be in this ColorSpace into a value in the default CS_sRGB color space.This method transforms color values using algorithms designed to produce the best perceptual match between input and output colors. In order to do colorimetric conversion of color values, you should use the
toCIEXYZ
method of this color space to first convert from the input color space to the CS_CIEXYZ color space, and then use thefromCIEXYZ
method of the CS_sRGB color space to convert from CS_CIEXYZ to the output color space. SeetoCIEXYZ
andfromCIEXYZ
for further information.- Parameters:
-
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least the number of components in this ColorSpace - Returns:
- a float array of length 3
- Throws:
-
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least the number of components in this ColorSpace
fromRGB
public abstract float[] fromRGB(float[] rgbvalue)
Transforms a color value assumed to be in the default CS_sRGB color space into this ColorSpace.This method transforms color values using algorithms designed to produce the best perceptual match between input and output colors. In order to do colorimetric conversion of color values, you should use the
toCIEXYZ
method of the CS_sRGB color space to first convert from the input color space to the CS_CIEXYZ color space, and then use thefromCIEXYZ
method of this color space to convert from CS_CIEXYZ to the output color space. SeetoCIEXYZ
andfromCIEXYZ
for further information.- Parameters:
-
rgbvalue
- a float array with length of at least 3 - Returns:
- a float array with length equal to the number of components in this ColorSpace
- Throws:
-
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least 3
toCIEXYZ
public abstract float[] toCIEXYZ(float[] colorvalue)
Transforms a color value assumed to be in this ColorSpace into the CS_CIEXYZ conversion color space.This method transforms color values using relative colorimetry, as defined by the International Color Consortium standard. This means that the XYZ values returned by this method are represented relative to the D50 white point of the CS_CIEXYZ color space. This representation is useful in a two-step color conversion process in which colors are transformed from an input color space to CS_CIEXYZ and then to an output color space. This representation is not the same as the XYZ values that would be measured from the given color value by a colorimeter. A further transformation is necessary to compute the XYZ values that would be measured using current CIE recommended practices. See the
toCIEXYZ
method ofICC_ColorSpace
for further information.- Parameters:
-
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least the number of components in this ColorSpace - Returns:
- a float array of length 3
- Throws:
-
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least the number of components in this ColorSpace.
fromCIEXYZ
public abstract float[] fromCIEXYZ(float[] colorvalue)
Transforms a color value assumed to be in the CS_CIEXYZ conversion color space into this ColorSpace.This method transforms color values using relative colorimetry, as defined by the International Color Consortium standard. This means that the XYZ argument values taken by this method are represented relative to the D50 white point of the CS_CIEXYZ color space. This representation is useful in a two-step color conversion process in which colors are transformed from an input color space to CS_CIEXYZ and then to an output color space. The color values returned by this method are not those that would produce the XYZ value passed to the method when measured by a colorimeter. If you have XYZ values corresponding to measurements made using current CIE recommended practices, they must be converted to D50 relative values before being passed to this method. See the
fromCIEXYZ
method ofICC_ColorSpace
for further information.- Parameters:
-
colorvalue
- a float array with length of at least 3 - Returns:
- a float array with length equal to the number of components in this ColorSpace
- Throws:
-
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- if array length is not at least 3
getType
public int getType()
Returns the color space type of this ColorSpace (for example TYPE_RGB, TYPE_XYZ, ...). The type defines the number of components of the color space and the interpretation, e.g. TYPE_RGB identifies a color space with three components - red, green, and blue. It does not define the particular color characteristics of the space, e.g. the chromaticities of the primaries.- Returns:
-
the type constant that represents the type of this
ColorSpace
getNumComponents
public int getNumComponents()
Returns the number of components of this ColorSpace.- Returns:
-
The number of components in this
ColorSpace

public String getName(int idx)
Returns the name of the component given the component index.- Parameters:
-
idx
- the component index - Returns:
- the name of the component at the specified index
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- ifidx
is less than 0 or greater than numComponents - 1
getMinValue
public float getMinValue(int component)
Returns the minimum normalized color component value for the specified component. The default implementation in this abstract class returns 0.0 for all components. Subclasses should override this method if necessary.- Parameters:
-
component
- the component index - Returns:
- the minimum normalized component value
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if component is less than 0 or greater than numComponents - 1 - Since:
- 1.4
getMaxValue
public float getMaxValue(int component)
Returns the maximum normalized color component value for the specified component. The default implementation in this abstract class returns 1.0 for all components. Subclasses should override this method if necessary.- Parameters:
-
component
- the component index - Returns:
- the maximum normalized component value
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if component is less than 0 or greater than numComponents - 1 - Since:
- 1.4
