Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

color-spectrum stable

Convert spectrum or wavelength to color.

color-spectrum

Usage

npm install color-spectrum

const toColor = require('color-spectrum');
const fft = require('fourier-transform');

let magnitudes = fft(myData);
document.body.style.background = toColor(magnitudes);

API

Get spectrum to color converter.

require('color-spectrum/table') to get a table of wavelength to XYZ values.

require('color-spectrum/approx') to get approximator of wavelength to XYZ values.

Calculate color based off spectrum or a single wavelength value. Spectrum is a list of float values, like magnitudes or intensities, for example, a direct output from fourier-transform with real numbers. The visible range 380..780nm will be stretched to cover the passed list of intensities.

Possible options:

// Use approximation formulas or matching table interpolation
approximate: false,

// Normalize spectrum
normalize: true,

// Reference whitepoint with x,y,z values
white: xyz.whitepoint[2].D65

You can also use technical methods:

//get xyz values array for a given wavelength from 380..780 range. Use 1/λ to calc frequency.
[x, y, z] = spectrumColor.wavelength(λ, opts?);

//get xyz values for a list of magnitudes
[x, y, z] = spectrumColor.spectrum(list, opts);

//you would like to transform to rgb
let xyz = require('color-space/xyz');
let [r, g, b] = xyz.rgb(x, y, z);

Thanks to all the color scientists, who devoted their lives to color research and delivered their knowledge to us, for we can trust them and use their formulas and their code. Seriously, this package is just a complement to their work in js/npm format, no new scientific knowledge, just science a bit closer to practice.

gl-waveform — color-spectrum used to paint waveform color based of spectral contents.
