class colour.Extrapolator1d(interpolator=None, method=u'Linear', left=None, right=None)

Bases: object

Extrapolates the 1-D function of given interpolator.

The Extrapolator1d acts as a wrapper around a given Colour or scipy interpolator class instance with compatible signature. Two extrapolation methods are available:

  • Linear: Linearly extrapolates given points using the slope defined by the interpolator boundaries (xi[0], xi[1]) if x < xi[0] and (xi[-1], xi[-2]) if x > xi[-1].
  • Constant: Extrapolates given points by assigning the interpolator boundaries values xi[0] if x < xi[0] and xi[-1] if x > xi[-1].

Specifying the left and right arguments takes precedence on the chosen extrapolation method and will assign the respective left and right values to the given points.

Parameters:
  • interpolator (object) – Interpolator object.
  • method (unicode, optional) – (‘Linear’, ‘Constant’), Extrapolation method.
  • left (numeric, optional) – Value to return for x < xi[0].
  • right (numeric, optional) – Value to return for x > xi[-1].

Notes

The interpolator must define x and y attributes.

interpolate(shape=SpectralShape(None, None, None), method=None)

Interpolates the spectral power distribution following CIE 167:2005 recommendations: the method developed by Sprague (1880) should be used for interpolating functions having a uniformly spaced independent variable and a Cubic Spline method for non-uniformly spaced independent variable.

  • method (unicode, optional) – (‘Sprague’, ‘Cubic Spline’, ‘Linear’), Enforce given interpolation method.
Returns:

  • ValueError – If the interpolation method is not defined.

Notes

Warning

  • If scipy is not unavailable the Cubic Spline method will fallback to legacy Linear interpolation.
  • Linear interpolator requires at least 2 wavelengths \(\lambda_n\) for interpolation.
  • Cubic Spline interpolator requires at least 3 wavelengths \(\lambda_n\) for interpolation.
  • Sprague interpolator requires at least 6 wavelengths \(\lambda_n\) for interpolation.

interpolate(shape=SpectralShape(None, None, None), method=None)

Interpolates the tri-spectral power distribution following CIE 167:2005 recommendations: the method developed by Sprague (1880) should be used for interpolating functions having a uniformly spaced independent variable and a Cubic Spline method for non-uniformly spaced independent variable.

Parameters:
  • shape (SpectralShape, optional) – Spectral shape used for interpolation.
  • method (unicode, optional) – (‘Sprague’, ‘Cubic Spline’, ‘Linear’), Enforce given interpolation method.
Returns:

Interpolated tri-spectral power distribution.

Return type:

If the wavelength \(\lambda\) is not available in the colour matching function, its value will be calculated using CIE recommendations: The method developed by Sprague (1880) should be used for interpolating functions having a uniformly spaced independent variable and a Cubic Spline method for non-uniformly spaced independent variable.
