template<class T> template<class Integral>
Vector4<Integral> Magnum::Math::Color4<T>::toSrgbAlpha() const

Convert to integral sRGB + alpha representation.

template<class T>
Vector3<FloatingPointType> Magnum::Math::Color4<T>::toXyz() const

Convert to CIE XYZ representation.

Assuming the color is in linear RGB, applies transformation matrix, returning the color in CIE XYZ color space. The alpha channel is not subject to any conversion, so it is ignored. See Color3::toXyz() for more information.

Please note that xyz(), x(), y() and z() do not correspond to primaries in CIE XYZ color space, but are rather aliases to rgb(), r(), g() and b().

template<class T>
Color4<UnsignedByte> operator""_rgba(unsigned long long value) constexpr

8bit-per-channel linear RGBA literal

Unpacks the literal into four 8-bit values. Example usage:

using namespace Math::Literals;
Color4ub a = 0x33b27fcc_rgba;   // {0x33, 0xb2, 0x7f, 0xcc}

template<class T>
Vector4<UnsignedByte> operator""_srgba(unsigned long long value) constexpr

8bit-per-channel sRGB + alpha literal

Unpacks the literal into four 8-bit values without any colorspace conversion. Behaves identically to operator""_rgba() though it doesn't return a Color4 type to indicate that the resulting value is not linear RGBA. Use this literal to document that given value is in sRGB + alpha. Example usage:

using namespace Math::Literals;
Math::Vector4<UnsignedByte> a = 0x33b27fcc_srgba; // {0x33, 0xb2, 0x7f, 0xcc}

template<class T>
Color4<Float> operator""_rgbaf(unsigned long long value)

Float linear RGBA literal.

Unpacks the 8-bit values into four floats. Example usage:

using namespace Math::Literals;
Color4 a = 0x33b27fcc_rgbaf;    // {0.2f, 0.698039f, 0.498039f, 0.8f}

template<class T>
Color4<Float> operator""_srgbaf(unsigned long long value)

Float sRGB + alpha literal.

Calls Color4::fromSrgbAlpha(UnsignedInt) on the literal value. Example usage:

using namespace Math::Literals;
Color4 a = 0x33b27fcc_srgbaf;   // {0.0331048f, 0.445201f, 0.212231f, 0.8f}

template<class T>
Corrade::Utility::Debug& operator<<(Corrade::Utility::Debug& debug, const Color4<UnsignedByte>& value)

Debug output operator.

Prints the value as hex color (e.g. #9933aaff). Other underlying types are handled by operator<<(Corrade::Utility::Debug&, const Vector<size, T>&).
