Translate colors through an MPP profile.

## NAME

Translate - Translate colors through an MPP profile.

## DESCRIPTION

Translate colors through an MPP profile

## SYNOPSIS

**mpplu** \[-v\] \[-f func\] \[-i intent\] \[-o order\] profile

- **-v**

  Verbose

- **-f** function

  f = forward, b = backwards

- **-p** oride

  x = XYZ\_PCS, l = Lab\_PCS, y = Yxy, s = spectral,

- **-l** limit

  override default ink limit, 1 - N00%

- **-i** illum

  Choose illuminant for print/transparency spectral data: A, C, D50 (def.), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp

- **-o** observ

  Choose CIE Observer for spectral data: 1931\_2 (def), 1964\_10, S&B 1955\_2, shaw, J&V 1978\_2

- **-u**

  Use Fluorescent Whitening Agent compensation

- **-g**

  Create gamut output

- **-w**

  Create gamut VRML as well

- **-n**

  Don't add VRML axes

- **-a** n

  Gamut transparency level

- **-d** n

  Gamut surface detail level

- **-t** num

  Invoke debugging test code "num" 1..n 1 - check partial derivative for device input 2 - create overlap diagnostic VRML gamut surface

-

  The colors to be translated should be fed into stdin, one input color per line, white space separated. A line starting with a # will be ignored. A line not starting with a number will terminate the program.
