A DATA FLOW APPROACH TO COLOR GAMUT VISUALIZATION by CHAD

Software has been developed to help engineers visualize the gamuts of color hardcopy devices. Software modules have been written so that color gamuts and color space transformations can be explored using a scientific visualization program. Tools have been created that allow the user to accentuate the differences between gamuts and to interact with the displayed data. The data flow architecture of the program makes it easy to add more color gamuts and to investigate additional color transformations. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Gary Meyer for his assistance and support throughout this research and the preparation of this thesis. vi DEDICATION To Teri, for the opportunity and purpose to be here.
