[R] [OT] two question about color space.

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

For a good discussion of the link between colour and spectra I would  
suggest,

http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/specrend/

which provides an open-source C code to perform the conversion you ask  
for. I asked for some advice on how to wrap a R function around this  
code last week but sadly I didn't get anywhere. Do let me know if you  
succeed. (alternatively, one could port the implementation in pure R  
as the code is not too complicated or computationally demanding).

Hope this helps,

baptiste
