Gamma Correction
Color monitors, which are by nature non-linear, appear incorrect when
given a linear ramp of some color. Gamma correction can significantly
improve perceptual correctness by adjusting the brightness or
darkness of the color data sent from the monitor to any other
non-linear device.
Gamma Correction Command
?*t#I
* The practical range for gamma values is 0.0 to 4.0.
Assuming 8 bits per primary (256 intensity levels per primary), the
corrected intensity for each color primary is calculated as follows:
Gamma correction is referred to in terms of device- dependent RGB.
This command does not destroy the contents of device-dependent
color lookup tables, but setting a gamma value supersedes any
lookup table input in either Device CMY or Device RGB.
Note The default value (0) gives the same result as a gamma value of 1.0,
which results in a unity gamma curve.
# = Gamma number
Default = 0 (gamma correction off)
Range = 0.0 to 32767.0 (command is ignored for invalid values)*
