## Description

When programming pixel data manipulation functions you will often use algorithms operating on a color model different from the one GIMP uses. This file provides utility functions to convert colors between different color spaces.

## Details

### GimpHSL

    typedef struct {
      gdouble h, s, l, a;
    } GimpHSL;

### gimp_rgb_to_hsv ()

    void        gimp_rgb_to_hsv                 (const GimpRGB *rgb,
                                                 GimpHSV *hsv);

Does a conversion from RGB to HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) colorspace.

`rgb` : | A color value in the RGB colorspace
`hsv` : | The value converted to the HSV colorspace

### gimp_rgb_to_hsl ()

    void        gimp_rgb_to_hsl                 (const GimpRGB *rgb,
                                                 GimpHSL *hsl);

Convert an RGB color value to a HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color value.

`rgb` : | A color value in the RGB colorspace
`hsl` : | The value converted to HSL

### gimp_rgb_to_cmyk ()

    void        gimp_rgb_to_cmyk                (const GimpRGB *rgb,
                                                 gdouble pullout,
                                                 GimpCMYK *cmyk);

Does a naive conversion from RGB to CMYK colorspace. A simple formula that doesn't take any color-profiles into account is used. The amount of black pullout how can be controlled via the `pullout` parameter. A `pullout` value of 0 makes this a conversion to CMY. A value of 1 causes the maximum amount of black to be pulled out.

`rgb` : | A value in the RGB colorspace
`pullout` : | A scaling value (0-1) indicating how much black should be pulled out
`cmyk` : | The input value naively converted to the CMYK colorspace

### gimp_hsv_to_rgb ()

    void        gimp_hsv_to_rgb                 (const GimpHSV *hsv,

                                                 gdouble *blackness);

Theoretically, hue 0 (pure red) is identical to hue 6 in these transforms. Pure red always maps to 6 in this implementation. Therefore UNDEFINED can be defined as 0 in situations where only unsigned numbers are desired.

RGB are each on [0, 1]. Whiteness and Blackness are returned in the range [0, 1] and H is returned in the range [0, 6]. If W == 1 - B, H is undefined.

`rgb` : | A color value in the RGB colorspace
`hue` : | The hue value of the above color, in the range 0 to 6
`whiteness` : | The whiteness value of the above color, in the range 0 to 1
`blackness` : | The blackness value of the above color, in the range 0 to 1

H is defined in the range [0, 6] or UNDEFINED, B and W are both in the range [0, 1]. The returned RGB values are all in the range [0, 1].

`hue` : | A hue value, in the range 0 to 6
`whiteness` : | A whiteness value, in the range 0 to 1
`blackness` : | A blackness value, in the range 0 to 1
`rgb` : | The above color converted to the RGB colorspace
