+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+
+\fBppmcie\fP creates a PPM file containing a plot of the CIE
+"tongue" color chart -- to the extent possible in a PPM
+image. Alternatively, creates a pseudo-PPM image of the color tongue
+using RGB values from a color system of your choice.
+.PP
+The CIE color tongue is an image of all the hues that can be described
+by CIE X-Y chromaticity coordinates. They are arranged on a two
+dimensional coordinate plane with the X chromaticity on the horizontal
+axis and the Y chromaticity on the vertical scale. (You can choose
+alternatively to use CIE u'-v' chromaticity coordinates, but the
+general idea of the color tongue is the same).
+.PP
+Note that the PPM format specifies that the RGB values in the file are
+from the ITU-R Recommendation BT.709 color system, gamma-corrected.
+And positive. See
+.BR "ppm" (1)\c
+\& for details. If
+you use one of the color system options on \fBppmcie\fP, what you get
+is not a true PPM image, but is very similar. If you display such
+\fBppmcie\fP output using a device that expects PPM input (which
+includes just about any computer graphics display program), it will
+display the wrong colors.
+.PP
+However, you may have a device that expects one of these variations on
+PPM.
+.PP
+In every RGB color system you can specify, including the default
+(which produces a true PPM image) there are hues in the color tongue
+that can't be represented. For example, monochromatic blue-green with
+a wavelength of 500nm cannot be represented in a PPM image.
+.PP
+For these hues, \fBppmcie\fP substitutes a similar hue as follows:
+They are desaturated and rendered as the shade where the edge of the
+Maxwell triangle intersects a line drawn from the requested shade to
+the white point defined by the color system's white point.
+Furthermore, unless you specify the \fB-full\fP option, \fBppmcie\fP
+reduces their intensity by 25% compared to the true hues in the image.
+.PP
+\fBppmcie\fP draws and labels the CIE X-Y coordinate axes unless you
+choose otherwise with options.
+.PP
+\fBppmcie\fP draws the Maxwell triangle for the color system in use
+on the color tongue. The Maxwell triangle is the triangle whose
+vertices are the primary illuminant hues for the color system. The
+hues inside the triangle show the color gamut for the color system.
+They are also the only ones that are correct for the CIE X-Y
+chromaticity coordinates shown. (See explanation above). \fBppmcie\fP
+denotes the Maxwell triangle by rendering it at full brightness, while
+rendering the rest of the color tongue as 3/4 brightness. You can turn
+this off with options.
+.PP
+\fBppmcie\fP also places a black cross at the color system's white
+point (with the center of the cross open so you can actually see the
+white color) and displays in text the CIE X-Y chromaticities of the
+primary illuminants and white point for the color system. You can
+turn this off with options, though.
+.PP
+\fBppmcie\fP annotates the periphery of the color tongue with the
+wavelength, in nanometers of the monochromatic hues which appear
+there.
+.PP
+\fBppmcie\fP displays the black body chromaticity curve for Planckian
+radiators from 1000 to 30000 kelvins on the image. This curve traces the
+colors of black bodies as various temperatures.
+.PP
+You can choose from several standard color systems, or specify one of
+your own numerically.
+.PP
+CIE charts, by their very nature, contain a very large number of
+colors. If you're encoding the chart for a color mapped device or
+file format, you'll need to use \fBpnmquant\fP or \fBppmdither\fP to
+reduce the number of colors in the image.
+

+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBppmcie\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+.PP
+You may abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.

+\fB-rec709\fP
+.TP
+\fB-cie\fP
+.TP
+\fB-ebu\fP
+.TP
+\fB-hdtv\fP
+.TP
+\fB-ntsc\fP
+.TP
+\fB-smpte\fP
+Select a standard color system whose gamut to plot. The default is
+\fB-rec709\fP, which chooses ITU-R Recommendation BT.709,
+gamma-corrected. This is the only color system for which
+\fBppmcie\fP's output is a true PPM image. See explanation above.
+\fB-ebu\fP chooses the primaries used in the PAL and SECAM
+broadcasting standards. \fB-ntsc\fP chooses the primaries specified
+by the NTSC broadcasting system (few modern monitors actually cover
+this range). \fB-smpte\fP selects the primaries recommended by the
+Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) in
+standards RP-37 and RP-145, and \fB-hdtv\fP uses the much broader
+\fIHDTV ideal\fP primaries. \fB-cie\fP chooses a color system that
+has the largest possible gamut within the spectrum of the chart. This
+is the same color system as you get with the \fB-cie\fP option to
+John Walker's \fBcietoppm\fP program.
+
+.TP
+\fB-xy\fP
+plot CIE 1931 x y chromaticities. This is the default.
+
+.TP
+\fB-upvp\fP
+plot u' v' 1976 chromaticities rather than CIE 1931 x y
+chromaticities. The advantage of u' v' coordinates is that equal
+intervals of distance on the u' v' plane correspond roughly to the
+eye's ability to discriminate colors.

+.TP
+\fB-red\fP\fI rx ry\fP
+specifies the CIE \fIx\fP and \fIy\fP co-ordinates of the red

+\fB-xsize|-width\fP\fI width\fP
+Sets the width of the generated image to \fIwidth\fP pixels. The

+
+.UN interpretation
+.SH INTERPRETATION OF COLOR CHART
+.PP
+A color spectrum is a linear combination of one or more monochromatic
+colors.
+.PP
+A color is a set of color spectra that all look the same to the
+human eye (and brain). Actually, for the purposes of the definition,
+we assume the eye has infinite precision, so we can call two color
+spectra different colors even though they're so close a person
+couldn't possibly tell them apart.
+.PP
+The eye contains 3 kinds of color receptors (cones). Each has a
+different response to the various monochromatic colors. One kind
+responds most strongly to blue, another red, another green. Because
+there are only three, many different color spectra will excite the
+cones at exactly the same level, so the eye cannot tell them apart.
+All such spectra that excite the cones in the same way are a single
+color.
+.PP
+Each point in the color tongue represents a unique color. But
+there are an infinite number of color spectra in the set that is that
+color; i.e. an infinite number of color spectra that would look to you
+like this point. A machine could tell them apart, but you could not.
+.PP
+Remember that the colors outside the highlighted triangle are
+approximations of the real colors because the PPM format cannot
+represent them (and your display device probably cannot display them).
+That is, unless you're using a variation of PPM and a special display
+device, as discussed earlier in this manual.
+.PP
+A color is always relative to some given maximum brightness. A
+particular beam of light looks lime green if in a dim field, but
+pea green if in a bright field. An image on a movie screen may
+look pitch black because the projector is not shining any light on
+it, but when you turn off the projector and look at the same spot in
+room light, the screen looks quite white. The same light from that spot
+hit your eye with the project on as with it off.
+.PP
+The chart shows two dimensions of color. The third is intensity.
+All the colors in the chart have the same intensity. To get all
+possible colors in the gamut, Make copies of the whole chart at every
+intensity between zero and the maximum.
+.PP
+The edge of the tongue consists of all the monochromatic colors.
+A monochromatic color is one with a single wavelength. I.e. a color
+that is in a rainbow. The numbers you see are the wavelengths in
+nanometers.
+.PP
+Any straight line segment within the tongue contains colors which
+are linear combinations of two colors -- the colors at either end of
+the line segment.
+.PP
+Any color in the chart can be created from two other colors (actually,
+from any of an infinite number of pairs of other colors).
+.PP
+All the colors within a triangle inside the tongue can be created
+from a linear combination of the colors at the vertices of that triangle.
+.PP
+Any color in the tongue can be created from at most 3 monochromatic
+colors.
+.PP
+The highlighted triangle shows the colors that can be expressed
+in the tristimulus color system you chose. (ITU-R BT.709 by default).
+The corners of the triangle are the 3 primary illuminants in that
+system (a certain red, green, and blue for BT.709). The edges of
+the triangle, then, represent the colors you can represent with two
+of the primary illuminants (saturated colors), and the interior colors
+require all three primary illuminants (are not saturated).
+.PP
+In the ITU-R BT.709 color system (the default), the white point is
+defined as D65, which is (and is named after) the color of a black
+body at 6502 kelvins. Therefore, you should see the temperature curve
+on the image pass through the white part of the image, and the cross
+that marks the white point, at 6502 kelvins.
+.PP
+D65 white is supposed to be the color of the sun. If you have a
+perfect BT.709 display device, you should see the color of the sun
+at the white point cross. That's an important color, because when you
+look at an object in sunlight, the color that reflects of the object
+is based on the color of sunlight. Note that the sun produces a
+particular color spectrum, but many other color spectra are the same
+color, and display devices never use the actual color spectrum of the
+sun.
+.PP
+The colors at the corners of the triangle have the chromaticities
+phosphors in a monitor that uses the selected color system. Note
+that in BT.709 they are very close to monochromatic red, green,
+and blue, but not quite. That's why you can't display even one true
+color of the rainbow on a video monitor.
+.PP
+Remember that the chart shows colors of constant intensity,
+therefore the corners of the triangles are not the full colors of the
+primary illuminants, but only their chromaticities. In fact, the
+illuminants typically have different intensities. In BT.709, the
+blue primary illuminant is far more intense than the green, which is
+more intense than the red. Designers did this in order to make an
+equal combination of red, green, and blue generate gray. I.e. a
+combination of full strength red, full strength green, and full
+strength blue BT.709 primary illuminants is D65 white.
+.PP
+The tongue has a sharp straight edge at the bottom because that's
+the limit of human vision. There are colors below that line, but they
+involve infrared and ultraviolet light, so you can't see them. This
+line is called the "line of purples."
