HSV Modulate

HSV Modulate Python Expression

Example python expression that modulates the 'Value' component of the HSV representation of a colormap by a given variable.

Start by opening the the rect2d.silo example dataset.

Setup expressions

Create two standard expressions:

• Vector Mesh Variable: d_color = colorlookup(d,"hot")
• Scalar Mesh Variable: p_norm = (p-1.054)/(42.25-1.054)

(p_norm simply normalizes the data extents of p to a range between 0.0 and 1.0)

Create a python expression:

• Vector Mesh Variable: d_modulated_by_p with arguments d_color, p_norm and the following python code:

from math import floor

def rgb_to_hsv(r,g,b):
    vmin  = min(r, g, b)
    vmax  = max(r, g, b)
    v     = vmax
    delta = vmax - vmin
    if vmax != 0:
        s = delta / vmax
    else:
        # r = g = b = 0  s = 0, v is undefined
        s = 0.0;
        h = -1.0;
        return h,s,v
    if  r == vmax:
        h = ( g - b ) / delta   # between yellow & magenta
    elif  g == vmax:
        h = 2 + ( b - r ) / delta # between cyan & yellow
    else:
        h = 4 + ( r - g ) / delta # between magenta & cyan
    h *= 60.0 # degrees
    if h < 0:
        h += 360.0;
    return h,s,v

def hsv_to_rgb(h,s,v):
    h /= 60.0   # sector 0 to 5
    i = floor(h)
    f = h - i   # factorial part of h
    p = v * ( 1 - s )
    q = v * ( 1 - s * f )
    t = v * ( 1 - s * ( 1 - f ) )
    if s == 0:
        # achromatic (grey)
        r = v
        g = v
        b = v
    elif i == 0:
        r = v
        g = t
        b = p
    elif i == 1:
        r = q
        g = v

    elif i == 2:
        r = p
        g = v

    else:
        r = v
        g = p
        b = q
    return r,g,b

def do_modulate(r,g,b,m):
    h,s,v = rgb_to_hsv(r,g,b)
    v *= m
    rn,gn,bn = hsv_to_rgb(h,s,v)
    return rn,gn,bn

Your Expressions Window will look simlar to the following:

Plot result

Now create a Truecolor Plot of "d_modulated_by_p" and you should see the following:

Invert the modulation

Redefine p_norm to be:

• Scalar Mesh Variable: p_norm = 1.0 - (p-1.054)/(42.25-1.054)

Clear and redraw your Truecolor plot and you should see the following:
