COLORTYPE enumeration (icm.h)

The values of the COLORTYPE enumeration are used by several WCS functions. Variables of type COLOR are defined in the color spaces enumerated by the COLORTYPE enumeration.

Syntax

typedef enum {
  COLOR_GRAY = 1,
  COLOR_RGB,

  COLOR_Yxy,
  COLOR_Lab,
  COLOR_3_CHANNEL,
  COLOR_CMYK,
  COLOR_5_CHANNEL,
  COLOR_6_CHANNEL,
  COLOR_7_CHANNEL,

  COLOR_NAMED
} COLORTYPE;

Constants

Remarks

In addition to managing the common two, three, and four channel color spaces, WCS 1.0 is able to perform color management with device profiles that contain five through eight color channels. It is also able to use named color spaces. When five, six, seven, or eight color channels are used, the provider of the device profile is free to determine what the color channels represent. The same is true of named color spaces. WCS 1.0 is able to manage these color spaces as long as there is a mapping in the device profile that maps the channels or the name space into the PCS. The device profile must also contain a mapping from the PCS into the five, size, seven, or eight channel space, or into the named color space.
