Color Processing Functions

Given these two color uses, page marking primitives and color raster data, color processing must:

•Convert color attributes to an internal representation that can be poured through the page marking stencil onto the destination via some logical operation.

•Convert multiple-bit-per-pixel color raster to an internal representation that can be merged into the destination via some logical operation.

Color processing must have access to the following state variables, which indicate the form and attributes by which the two color groups are generated.

•Halftone (rendering algorithm)

•RGB gamma correction

•Device-dependent color lookup tables for each of the three primaries

Appendix B describes in more detail how color raster data is specified.
