- Hi all.
-
- I was asking myself if someone had an algorithm to map wavelength of
- light (likely in nanometers,or in Amstrong units, that's not the big
- point) to a RGB space. The basic application is to convert a wave-
- length into its color, in the context of a radiation simulation in-
- volving an electron shift emission of a photon. A table like 600Ns
- give (says) pure red, etc, would help greatly.
-
- regards,
- S.
