%D We need to clean this up further but first we hav eto make sure that mkiv

\writestatus{loading}{Context Color Macros / initialization}

%D This module implements color. Since \MKII\ and \MKIV\ use a completely
%D different approach, this module only implements a few generic mechanisms.

\chardef\colorversion=1 % temp, needed for tracing purposes, mkiv transition

%D We use a couple of local registers. That way we don't have
%D to group when converting colors. By the way, this is not
%D really faster. We can sqeeze half a second runtime for 50K
%D switches on a 1G machine, but the macros will become rather
%D ugly then. To mention one such improvement: no colon
%D after the key character (.25 sec).

\newdimen\colordimen
\newcount\colorcount

%D When typesetting for paper, we prefer using the \cap{CMYK}
%D color space, but for on||screen viewing we prefer \cap{RGB}
%D (the previous implementation supported only this scheme).
%D Independant of such specifications, we support some automatic
%D conversions:
%D
%D \startitemize[packed]
%D \item  convert all colors to \cap{RGB}
%D \item  convert all colors to \cap{CMYK}
%D \item  convert all colors to gray scales
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D We also support optimization of colors to gray scales.
%D
%D \startitemize[continue]
%D \item  reduce gray colors to gray scales
%D \item  reduce \cap{CMY} components to \cap{K}
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D These options are communicated by means of:

\newif\ifRGBsupported
\newif\ifCMYKsupported
\newif\ifSPOTsupported
\newif\ifpreferGRAY
\newif\ifGRAYprefered
\newif\ifreduceCMYK
\newif\ifconverttoGRAY
\newif\ifweightGRAY       \weightGRAYtrue

\newif\ifconvertMPcolors
\newif\ifreduceMPcolors
\newif\ifforcegrayMPcolors

%D The last boolean controls reduction of \cap{CMYK} to
%D \cap{CMY} colors. When set to true, the black component
%D is added to the other ones.
%D
%D Prefering gray is not the same as converting to gray.
%D Conversion treats each color components in a different way,
%D while prefering is just a reduction and thus a
%D space||saving option.

%D (we call them rasters) has equal color components. In
%D \CONTEXT\ rasters are only used as backgrounds and these
%D don't cross page boundaries in the way color does. Therefore
%D we don't need stacks and marks. Just to be compatible with
%D color support we offer both 'global' and 'local' commands.

%D In this documentation we will not go into too much details
%D on palets. Curious users can find more information on this
%D topic in \from[use of color].
%D
%D At the moment we implemented color in \CONTEXT\ color
%D printing was not yet on the desktop. In spite of this lack our
%D graphics designer made colorfull illustrations. When printed
%D on a black and white printer, distinctive colors can come
%D out equally gray. We therefore decided to use only colors
%D that were distinctive in colors as well as in black and
%D white print.
%D
%D Although none of the graphic packages we used supported
%D logical colors and global color redefition, we build this
%D support into \CONTEXT. This enabled us to experiment and
%D also prepared us for the future.

%D \macros
%D   {definepalet}
%D
%D Colors are grouped in palets. The colors in such a palet can
%D have colorful names, but best is to use names that specify
%D their use, like {\em important} or {\em danger}. As a sort
%D of example \CONTEXT\ has some palets predefined,
%D like:\footnote{At the time I wrote the palet support, I was
%D reading 'A hort history of time' of S.~Hawkins, so that's
%D why we stuck to quarks.}
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \definepalet
%D   [alfa]
%D   [     top=rood:7,
%D      bottom=groen:6,
%D          up=blauw:5,
%D        down=cyaan:4,
%D     strange=magenta:3,
%D       charm=geel:2]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D It's formal definition is:
%D
%D \showsetup{definepalet}
%D
%D Visualized, such a palet looks like:
%D
%D \startbuffer[palet]
%D \showpalet [alfa] [horizontal,name,number,value]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \getbuffer[palet]
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D This bar shows both the color and gray alternatives of the
%D palet components (not visible in black and white print).
%D
%D When needed, one can copy a palet by saying:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \definepalet [TEXcolorpretty] [colorpretty]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D This saves us some typing in for instance the modules that
%D deal with pretty verbatim typesetting.

%D \macros
%D   {showcolorgroup}
%D
%D We can show the group by:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \showcolorgroup [blue] [horizontal,name,number,value]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D or in color:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \getbuffer
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D which uses:
%D
%D \showsetup{showcolorgroup}

\fetchruntimecommand \showcolorgroup {\f!colorprefix\s!run}

%D There are ten predefined color groups, like
%D \color[green]{\em groen}, \color[red]{\em rood},
%D \color[blue]{\em blauw}, \color[cyan]{\em cyaan},
%D \color[magenta]{\em magenta} and \color[yellow]{\em geel}.

%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D These groups are used to define palets {\em alfa} upto {\em
%D zeta}. As long as we don't use colors from the same row, we
%D get ourselves distinctive palets. By activating such a palet
%D one gains access to its members {\em top} to {\em charm} (of
%D course one should use more suitable names than these).

%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D By using the keyword \type {value} the individual color
%D components are shown too. When printed in color, these
%D showcases show both the colors and the gray value.

%D \macros
%D   {comparepalet}
%D
%D There are some more testing macros available:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \comparepalet [alfa]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D shows the palet colors against a background:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \getbuffer
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D The formal definition is:
%D
%D \showsetup{comparepalet}

\fetchruntimecommand \comparepalet {\f!colorprefix\s!run}

%D \macros
%D   {comparecolorgroup}
%D
%D The similar command:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \comparecolorgroup [blue]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D shows color groups:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \getbuffer
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D this commands are defined as:
%D
%D \showsetup{comparecolorgroup}

\fetchruntimecommand \comparecolorgroup {\f!colorprefix\s!run}

%D \macros
%D   {showcolor}
%D
%D But let's not forget that we also have the more traditional
%D non||related colors. These show up after:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \showcolor [name]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Where \type{name} for instance can be \type{rgb}.
%D
%D \showsetup{showcolor}

\fetchruntimecommand \showcolor {\f!colorprefix\s!run}

%D It would make sense to put the following code in \type
%D {colo-mps}, but it it rather low level.

%D \macros
%D   {ifMPgraphics, ifMPcmykcolors, MPcolor}
%D
%D A very special macro is \type{\MPcolor}. This one can be
%D used to pass a \CONTEXT\ color to \METAPOST.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \MPcolor{my own red}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D This macro returns a \METAPOST\ triplet \type{(R,G,B)}.
%D Unless \CMYK\ color support is turned on with \type
%D {MPcmyk}, only \cap{RGB} colors and gray scales are
%D supported.

%D Similar alternatives are avaliable for \PDF:

%D For the moment we keep the next downward compatibility
%D switch, i.e.\ expanded colors. However, predefined colors
%D and palets are no longer expanded (which is what I wanted
%D in the first place).
%D
%D Well, in case we want to do color separation and use CMYK
%D colors only, this is dangerous since unwanted remapping may
%D take place. Especially when we redefine already defined
%D colors in another color space (e.g. darkgreen is
%D predefined in RGB color space, so a redefinition in CMYK
%D coordinates before RGB mode is disabled, would give
%D unexpected results due to the already frozen color spec.)
%D
%D So, from now on, colors are not frozen any more!
