pub type LinearLightness<T> = Lum<T, true, true>;

Available on crate feature color only.

🎨 Linearized perceptual lightness (L* in linear space).

Use cases include:

• Combining linear luminance (for precise computations) and perceptual lightness (for display scaling).
• Tone mapping in HDR imaging, where linear data is scaled to a perceptual range.
• Representing raw radiometric data (e.g., watts/sr/m²) prior to photometric weighting (CIE Y).

Aliased Type

#[repr(C)]

    pub c: [T; 1],
}

Fields

c: [T; 1]

The luminance-like channel value.
