| LAB {colorspace} | R Documentation |
This function creates colors of class ``LAB''; a subclass of the virtual ``color'' class.
LAB(L, A, B, names)
L,A,B |
these arguments give the L, A and B coordinates of
the colors. The values can be provided in separate L,
A and B vectors or in a three-column matrix
passed as L. |
names |
a vector of names for the colors (by default the
row names of L are used). |
The L, A and B values give the coordinates of
the colors in the CIE L*a*b* space.
This is a transformation of the 1931 CIE XYZ space which attempts to
produce perceptually based axes.
Luminance takes values between 0 and 100, and the other coordinates
take values between -100 and 100. The a and b coordinates
measure positions on green/red and blue/yellow axes.
An object of class ``LAB'' which inherits from class ``color.''
