The parameter roughly corresponds to a deltaE value, so smaller values give greater detail. The default value is around 10, and is a good place to start. Small values may take a lot of time to generate, and will produce big files.<br> <br> The <b>-w</b> flag causes a VRML file to be produced, as well as a gamut file.<br> <br> The <b>-n</b> flag suppresses the L*a*b* axes being created in the VRML.<br> <br> The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-k</span> flag adds markers for each of the primary and secondary "cusp" points (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue & Magenta). No markers will be displayed if the cusps cannot be determined.<br> <br> The <b>-f </b>parameter allows choosing the ICC table to be used in plotting the gamut. The backwards tables generally incorporate gamut compression, and therefore don't reflect the native capabilities of the device.<br> <br> The <b>-i</b> flag selects the intent transform used for a lut based profile. It also selects between relative and absolute colorimetric for non-lut base profiles. Note that anything other than colorimetric may not represent the native capabilities of the device. The default intent will be absolute colorimetic for L*a*b* output, and CIECAM02 appearance for Jab output.<br> <br> An ICC profile is allowed to contain more than the minimum number of elements or table needed to describe a certain transform, and may contain redundant descriptions. By default, lut based table information will be used first if present, followed by matrix/shaper information, and only using monochrome information if it is all that is present. The <b>-o</b> flag, reverses this order. <br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">-p</span>: By default the gamut will be created in L*a*b* colorspace. If <span style="font-weight: bold;">-pj</span> is selected, then CIECAM02 appearance space Jab will be used for the output, and the viewing conditions will be taken into account. Jab space is what is normally needed to be compatible with the default intents used in <a href="colprof.html">colprof</a>. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br> </span>Note that the CIECAM02 output space selection by default uses the colorimetric transform of the profile resulting in the appearance of the native device, but that the perceptual or saturation transforms may be used by selecting them using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-i</span> parameter, which may give a different result with some profiles. This may be desirable if an image is to be transformed through the perceptual or saturation tables of a profile as part of a link with an Argyll generated output profile, since it will then represent the apparent gamut of the image when subject to these tables. If the absolute colorimetric intent is chosen using <span style="font-weight: bold;">-ia</span> in combinations with <span style="font-weight: bold;">-pj</span>, then Jab with a fixed white reference is used, which emulates an absolute CIECAM02 Jab appearance space. <br> <br> The <b>-l</b> parameter allows setting a total ink limit (TAC) for printing devices. If a device has a total ink limit, and hasn't been characterised with device values above this limit, then plotting the gamut in these areas will almost certainly be misleading. tables. By default, a total ink limit will be estimated from the profile tables. The ink limit will be in final calibrated device values if the profile includes calibration information.<br> <br> The <b>-L</b> parameter allows setting a black ink limit for printing devices. If a device is to be used with a black ink limit, then it is useful to evaluate the gamut with the limit in place. By default, a black ink limit will be estimated from the profile tables. The ink limit will be in final calibrated device values if the profile includes calibration information.<br> <br> The <b>-c</b> parameter allows setting the CIECAM02 viewing conditions, either by choosing a typical viewing environment, or controlling particular viewing condition parameters.<br> <br> The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-s</span> flag creates a special hyper-cube surface plot that is artificially colored. This can be useful for identifying the topology of the black ink color response.<br> <h3>Example<br> </h3> To create a view in L*a*b* of the absolute gamut of a CMYK file with an ink limit of 260%, one might use:<br> <br> <span style="font-style: italic;">iccgamut -w -ff -ia -l260 profile.icm</span><br> <br> and the resulting files will be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">profile.gam</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">profile.wrl</span>.<br> <br style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </body> </html>
