Description

The macro define-color-models defines the color models in model-descriptors.

A model descriptor has the syntax:

(model-name component-descr*)

A component-descr is a list:

(component-name lowest-value highest-value)

The default color models are defined by the following form:

(color:define-color-models ((:rgb (red 0.0 1.0) 
                                  (green 0.0 1.0) 
                                  (blue 0.0 1.0))
                            (:hsv (hue 0.0 5.99999) 
                                  (saturation 0.0 1.0) 
                                  (value 0.0 1.0)) 
                            (:gray (level 0.0 1.0))))

If you want to keep existing color models, add your new ones to this list: only one define-color-models form is recognized. The form should be compiled.

Examples

To replace the HSV color model with a CMYK model, while retaining the other color models:

(define-color-models ((:rgb (red 0.0 1.0) 
                            (green 0.0 1.0) 
                            (blue 0.0 1.0))
                      (:cmyk (cyan 0.0 1.0) 
                             (magenta 0.0 1.0) 
                             (yellow 0.0 1.0)
                             (black 0.0 1.0)
                      (:gray (level 0.0 1.0))))
