Wavelength

Wavelength creates Color objects given the wavelength or the frequency of the light rather than the usual RGB or HSB. instead of: Color c = new Color(255, 0, 0); use the frequency in nanometers, and gamma 0.0. .. 1.0. (gamma is intensity/brightness.) Color c = Wavelength.wvColor( 400.0f, 0.80f ); The visible range of the spectrum is 380..780 nanometers. Smaller is bluer. or using frequency in Terahertz and gamma 0.0. .. 1.0. Color c = Wavelength.fColor( 500.0f, 1.0f ); The visible range of the spectrum is 384..789 TeraHertz. Smaller is redder. Wavelength does not do much on its own. It is intended to be incorporated into your own programs. You might use it to draw a realistic rainbow, or to write educational Applets about the light spectrum.

You may include the Wavelength on any CD compilation.

This program is for non-military use only. For details on what that licencing restriction means and why I restricted this software that way, see http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html If you incorporate any of my code in your programs, they too must be marked for non-military use only. However it is not your responsibility to enforce that restriction.
