<h1>
Argyll CMS documentation index (V1.0.3)<br>
</h1>
Date: 1st June 2009<br>
Author: Graeme Gill
<h2><u>Introduction</u></h2>
Argyll is an open source, ICC compatible color management
system. It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, CMYK
printers,
film recorders and calibration and profiling of displays.
Spectral sample data is supported,
allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and paper
fluorescent
whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also incorporate source
specific
gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation intents. Gamut mapping and
profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut
mapping
algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. It also includes
code for the fastest portable 8 bit raster color conversion engine
available
anywhere, as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16 bit
conversion.
Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared using a VRML
viewer. Comprehensive documentation is provided for each utility, and a
general guide to using the tools for typical color management tasks is
also available. A mailing list provides support for more advanced usage.<br>
<p>This is Version 1.0.4, a bug fix update to 1.0.3 released in
September 2008. It updates icclib to improve robustness against crafted
file attacks. The first public release of icclib was in November 1998,
and of Argyll
was in July 2000. Code
development
commenced in 1995. See <a href="ChangesSummary.html">Changes Summary</a>
for an overview of changes since the last release. Changes
between
revisions is detailed in the <b>log.txt</b> file that accompanies the
source
code.
</p>
<p>The latest source code is available from <a
href="http://www.argyllcms.com/">here</a>.
</p>
<p>Argyll is known to compile and run in at least six environments:
</p>
1) MSWindows 2K system running the Microsoft VC++ 6.0 compiler<br>
2) MSWindows 2K system running the MingW port of the GCC compiler<br>
3) Linux on Fedora Core 8, 32 bit using gcc
<br>
4) Linux on Fedora Core 8, 64 bit using gcc<br>
4) Apple OSX 10.3 PPC using gcc<br>
5) Apple OSX 10.4 Intel using gcc<br>
6) Apple OSX 10.5 Intel using gcc<br>
<br>
It is also known to run on:<br>
<br>
MSWindows 2000, XP & Vista<br>
MSWindows Vista 64 (But most USB instruments won't work)<br>
Linux Ubuntu 7.10<br>
Linux Kubuntu 7.10<br>
Linux Mandriva 2008.0<br>
Linux OpenSuSE 10.3<br>
Linux Whitebox 4.2/2<br>
<p>but may well compile and run correctly in many more than this.
</p>
This is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">command line
terminal</span>
only environment. Those unfamiliar with command line environments
should consult an appropriate tutorial for their environment if they
are interested in using this software. See the listing of <a
href="#cltutes">tutorials</a> below. <span style="font-weight: bold;">If
you're looking for "point and shoot" software, you need to look
elsewhere.</span><br>

instruments</a> for more instrument specific detail.<br>
<br>
Other instruments can be supported indirectly, since patch result files
created by other packages can be imported into Argyll.<br>
<p>If you've decided to buy a color instrument because Argyll supports
it,
please let the dealer and manufacturer know that "<span
style="font-weight: bold;">You bought it because Argyll CMS supports it</span>"
- thanks.<br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please direct</span> any queries or
problems regarding operation of color instruments in combination with
Argyll, to the Author(s) of Argyll, and not to any other party.

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">What
sort of project is this ? (re: contributions)<br>
</span></h2>
This is essentially my private project, that I've made available under
GNU licensing conditions. Because I license my code under other
licenses as well, there is a limit to what I will accept in the way of
code contributions back into this project. For me to accept
contributions into this distribution, it either has to be a
non-core side
project, or has to be offered to me with copyright conditions that are
compatible with my other uses (i.e.. a "BSD" like license, or assigning
or licensing
the copyright to me). <br>
<br>
Of course there is nothing to stop someone setting up a real free
software, community project based on the GNU licensed code made
available here, that would be able to take GNU licensed contributions
from everyone and
would essentially be a "fork" of this code base.<br>

<br>
<h2 style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><u>Main Utilities and the command
line<br>
</u></h2>
These are all command line ("DOS" shell) utilities, and each tool
require appropriate options to be set, followed by
filename arguments. Sometimes the filenames will have to include the
usual
extensions, sometimes they are implicit. To get a brief listing of the
possible arguments and usage of any of the utilities, run it with just
an "-?" argument, i.e.
<b>targen -? </b>(or some other unrecognized flag,
if the "?" character is treated specially in your shell, i.e. try
"--" on OS X zsh).<br>
<br>
Note that in general the arguments consist of possible flags or options
followed by file name arguments. All arguments need to be separated by
whitespace. (If you need to specify a string with embedded white
space, double quote the string). A flag consists of a dash attached to
a single letter, the letter identifying the flag, and is usually case
sensitive. An option is a flag that has an associated parameter or
parameters. The parameter can be separated from the flag by white
space, or may come directly after the flag. So if a utility has a usage
that looks like this:<br>
<br>
utility -?<br>
usage: utility [options] infile outfile<br>
-v
Verbose mode<br>
-d
n
Choose a depth 0-4<br>
-r
Use a random depth<br>
-f
[nn]
Use full range. nn optional range 0 - 100.<br>
-M
Manual<br>
infile
Input file<br>
outfile
Output file<br>
<br>
then there are 5 flags/options, and two filename arguments.
Notice that square braces [] denote optional items. The first
flag/option is a flag. The second is an option that has a numerical
argument in the range 0 to 4. The third is a flag. the fourth is an
option with an optional argument. The fourth is a flag. The flags
and options can generally be in any order, but must be before the file
name arguments. (For a few special utilities you actually specify a
sequence of flags and files where the flags apply just to the following
file.) So
example invocations may look like:<br>
<br>
utility -v testin testout<br>
utility -d3 -M testin1 testout2<br>
utility -f infile outfile<br>
utility -f 45 infile outfile<br>
utility -d 3 -f67 infile outfile<br>
<p>In order to make use of the tools, it is necessary to keep track of
where various files are, and what they are called. There are many
possible
ways of doing this. One way is to put each source profile and all its
associated
files (test charts, spectrometer values etc.) in one set of directories
for each source profile type. Similarly the device profiles could be
stored
in a hierarchy of directories ordered by device type, media,
resolution,
device mode etc.
