This function creates colors of class ``polarLAB'';
a subclass of the virtual ``color'' class.
Usage
polarLAB(L, C, H, names)
Arguments
L,C,H
these arguments give the L, C and H coordinates of
the colors. The values can be provided in separate L,
C and H vectors or in a three-column matrix
passed as L.
names
A vector of names for the colors (by default the row
names of L are used).
Value
An object of class ``polarLAB'' which inherits from class ``color.''
Details
The polarLAB space is a transformation of the CIE \(L^*a^*b^*\)
space so that the \(a\) and \(b\) values are converted to polar
coordinates. The radial component \(C\) measures chroma and
the angular coordinate \(H\) is measures hue.
