Hi,
first of all I've been wondering what illuminant and what observer angle
the .cht files as shipped with ArgyllCMS are using. It's possible that I've
overread that piece of information in the documentation. But as the Zen of
Python also states: "Explicit is better than implicit." ...
That also led me to the next: It would be good to explicitly be able to state
certain conditions for the .cht file. Especiallyl illuminant and observer
angle, possibly some more meta information, e. g. what batch or version a
chart was, etc. Profilemaker (I believe) uses meta tags inside the file as
this:
ILLUMINATION_NAME "D50"
OBSERVER_ANGLE "2"
Is something like this possible for .cht files as well? Maybe that would make
a sensible extension to the file format. Alternatively/additionally comments
could be used in the file. E. g. a line starting with the hash "#" could be
interpreted as a comment. Using that also version information of the file
itself e. g. from CVS or Subversion could be managed ...
Just my thoughts. Any ideas from anybody? Graeme?
Guy
