💖 WTPT(1) — the media-white detective 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and we're about to get so into it. it's called wtpt, and it's literally the girly who looks at your color profiles and tells you about their white point. main character energy tbh. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

wtpt — show media white of profiles, identifying black body locus. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wtpt [profile]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional little argument, no cap. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so first things first, let's talk about lcms. lcms is a standalone CMM engine — that's a Color Management Module for anyone keeping score — and it deals with the color management. it implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. basically it's the backstage crew making sure your colors don't show up looking a mess. 🧚

and wtpt? wtpt shows media white of profiles, identifying black body locus. it's the one holding up the little color swatch going "bestie… this white? not it. here's what it actually is." 👑

here's how it decides what to do:

  • if no parameters are given, then this program will ask for the XYZ value of media white. it'll literally prompt you, like a polite lil thing. ✨
  • if a parameter is given, it must be the profile to inspect. one argument, one profile, no extras. periodt. 💅
ngl, that's the whole interface. you either hand it a profile or you hand it your XYZ numbers. pick a lane, bestie. 🫶
