• read_spds_from_xrite_file()

colour.io.xrite.read_spds_from_xrite_file(path)[source]¶

Reads the spectral data from given X-Rite file and returns it as an OrderedDict of colour.colorimetry.spectrum.SpectralPowerDistribution classes.

Parameters:	path (unicode) – Absolute X-Rite file path.
Returns:	colour.colorimetry.spectrum.SpectralPowerDistribution classes of given X-Rite file.

>>> import os
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> xrite_file = os.path.join(
...     os.path.dirname(__file__),
...     'tests',
...     'resources',
...     'xrite_digital_colour_checker.txt')
>>> spds_data = read_spds_from_xrite_file(xrite_file)
>>> pprint(list(spds_data.keys()))  
['X1', 'X2', 'X3', 'X4', 'X5', 'X6', 'X7', 'X8', 'X9', 'X10']
