ChromaticityPlot3D

ChromaticityPlot3D[colspace]

returns a 3D gamut of the color space colspace.

ChromaticityPlot3D[color]

plots the specific color.

ChromaticityPlot3D[image]

plots the pixels of image as individual colors.

ChromaticityPlot3D[{input1,input2,…}]

plots multiple colors, color spaces and images.

ChromaticityPlot3D[…,refcolspace]

uses the reference color space refcolspace.

Options  (40)

Appearance  (1)

By default, only the color space gamuts are displayed:

Also show the boundary of the visible spectrum:

Axes  (3)

By default, the box and axes are drawn:

Turn off axes:

Turn off both axes and box:

AxesLabel  (3)

By default, appropriate labels are displayed for each coordinate:

Place a label on the z axis:

Specify axes labels:

AxesOrigin  (2)

The position of the axes is determined automatically:

Specify an explicit origin for the axes:

AxesStyle  (4)

Change the style for the axes:

Specify a style for each axis:

Use different styles for the ticks and the axes:

Use different styles for the labels and the axes:

BoundaryStyle  (3)

By default, a boundary for each space is drawn:

Use thick boundary:

Specify color and style of each boundary:

BoxRatios  (1)

By default, side-length ratios of 1 are used:

Use BoxRatios->Automatic to use natural side-length ratios:

Use custom box ratios:

FillingStyle  (3)

By default, one space is fully opaque and colored:

Make the plot partially transparent:

Show just the boundaries:

Use a specific color:

With multiple spaces, by default all are partially transparent:

Individually define the appearance for each space:

If the specified list of styles is shorter than the list of color spaces, it is cyclically padded:

MaxPlotPoints  (1)

By default, the maximum number of points in the plot is limited:

Increase the limit to accommodate all points:

Mesh  (6)

By default, no mesh is displayed:

Use five mesh lines in each direction:

Show full mesh:

The resolution of the full mesh is taken from the PlotPoints option:

Show only the mesh for each space:

Use five mesh lines in each direction for every space:

Specify whether to show the mesh individually for each space:

MeshStyle  (1)

By default, the boundary style is used for mesh style:

Specify a different mesh style:

PlotLegends  (2)

By default, the legends are not shown for one color space:

Show the plot legend:

By default, the legends are shown for multiple spaces:

Turn the legends off:

PlotPoints  (1)

PlotPoints specifies the density of the grid:

PlotStyle  (1)

By default, each directive or pixel is plotted with its actual color:

Use a custom style:

PlotTheme  (3)

Use a theme with simple frame ticks in a bold color scheme:

Change the boundary styles:

Use a monochrome theme:

WhitePoint  (5)

By default, the white point is not shown:

Turn the white point on:

Show white points for multiple spaces:

Show a specific white point:

Show custom white points:
