DeviceNColorSpace Class Documentation

class DeviceNColorSpace : ColorSpace

Namespace:Datalogics::PDFL

Inherits from:
ColorSpace

Detailed Description

Represents a color space with an arbitrary number of color components.

DeviceN color spaces were designed to represent color spaces containing multiple color components that correspond to the colorants of some target device. They provide greater flexibility than is possible with standard device color spaces such as DeviceCMYK or with individual Separation color spaces. For example, it is possible to create a DeviceN color space consisting of only the cyan, magenta, and yellow color components, with the black component excluded.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DeviceNColorSpace

DeviceNColorSpace(System.Collections.Generic.IList< System.String > names, ColorSpace alternate, Function tintTransform)

Parameters

names: System.Collections.Generic.IList< System.String >

the names of the colorants that the DeviceN space is intended to represent, among which may be All, or None

alternate: ColorSpace

the alternate color space, which can be any device or CIE-based color space but not another special color space (Pattern, Indexed, Separation, or DeviceN).

tintTransform: Function

function, called with the tint value and returning the corresponding color component values. That is, the number of components and the interpretation of their values depend on the alternate color space.

Create a DeviceN color space.

Property Documentation

Alternate

ColorSpace Alternate[get]

the alternate color space, which can be any device or CIE-based color space but not another special color space (Pattern, Indexed, Separation, or DeviceN).

Attributes

PDFDict Attributes[get]

The dictionary of extended attributes associated with the color space.

DeviceCMYK

static ColorSpace DeviceCMYK[get]

The DeviceCMYK color space, representing cyan, magenta, yellow, and black components.

DeviceGray

static ColorSpace DeviceGray[get]

The DeviceGray color space, representing a single grayscale component.

DeviceRGB

static ColorSpace DeviceRGB[get]

The DeviceRGB color space, representing red, green, and blue components.

DeviceRGBA

static ColorSpace DeviceRGBA[get]

The DeviceRGBA color space, representing red, green, blue, and alpha components.

Function

Function Function[get]

A function, called with the tint value and returning the corresponding color component values. That is, the number of components and the interpretation of their values depend on the alternate color space.

Lab

static ColorSpace Lab[get]

The CIE-based L*a*b* color space.

LabA

static ColorSpace LabA[get]

The CIE-based L*a*b* color space with an alpha component.

Name

string Name[get]

The name of the color space. A named color space may be named something like DeviceRGB. More complicated color spaces may have a name like Indexed or ICCBased.

Names

System.Collections.Generic.IList< System.String > Names[get]

the names of the colorant that the DeviceN space is intended to represent, some of which may be All or None

NumComponents

int NumComponents[get]

The number of components in the color space.

For example, DeviceGray has 1 component, DeviceRGB has 3, and DeviceCMYK has 4.

PDFObject

PDFObject PDFObject[get]

Get the PDFObject associated with the color space. This may be a PDFName, PDFDict, PDFStream, or PDFArray.
