XYZToBlackbodyTemperature

Description

Gets the blackbody temperature corresponding to the XYZ colorimetric coordinates.

Returns 1 if no error has occurred, -1 if the input data are not valid and 0 if it is impossible to calculate a temperature with the given input data.

Syntax

object.XYZToBlackbodyTemperature(VARIANT* vXYZ, VARIANT* vTemperature) As Short

object: Virtual Photometric Lab object

• vXYZ: an array of 3 VARIANT of the XYZ colorimetric values

• vTemparature: the output data, the blackbody temperature, as a double ; If vTemperature is -1.0 so the calculation failed

Example

Dim ColorXYZ, Temperature

ColorXYZ= XMPViewer.SurfaceRectangleColor(0, 0, 200, 200, 0)

MyVar= XMPViewer.XYZToBlackbodyTemperature(ColorXYZ, Temperature)

Note:

The last parameter of SurfaceRectangleColor() must be 0 if you want to use ColorXYZ result to calculate a color temperature.
