Models reflectance spectra in a colorspace. For information on plotting arguments
and graphical parameters, see plot.colspace.
colspace(vismodeldata, space = c("auto", "di", "tri", "tcs", "hexagon",
"coc", "categorical", "ciexyz", "cielab", "cielch", "segment"),
qcatch = NULL)(required) quantum catch color data. Can be either the result
from vismodel or independently calculated data (in the form of a data frame
with columns representing quantum catches).
Which colorspace/model to use. Options are:
auto: if data is a result from vismodel,
applies di, tri or tcs if input visual model had two, three or four
cones, respectively.
di: dichromatic colourspace. See dispace for details.
(plotting arguments)
tri: trichromatic colourspace (i.e. Maxwell triangle). See trispace for details. (plotting arguments)
tcs: tetrahedral colourspace. See tcspace for details.
(plotting arguments)
hexagon: the trichromatic colour-hexagon of Chittka (1992). See hexagon for details. (plotting arguments)
coc: the trichromatic colour-opponent-coding model of Backhaus (1991). See coc for details. (plotting arguments)
categorical: the tetrachromatic categorical fly-model of Troje (1993). See categorical for details. (plotting arguments)
ciexyz: CIEXYZ space. See cie for details. (plotting arguments)
cielab: CIELAB space. See cie for details. (plotting arguments)
cielch: CIELCh space. See cie for details. (plotting arguments)
segment: segment analysis of Endler (1990). See segspace for details. (plotting arguments)
Which quantal catch metric is being inputted. Only used when input data is NOT
an output from vismodel. Must be Qi, fi or Ei.
