How to display colored graphics object in the same color space?


Consider, I have a disk colored in "LAB" color space. When I convert the graphics into image object it is by default getting converted into "RGB" color space.



ImageColorSpace@Image[Graphics[{LABColor[0.4, 0.6, 0.8], Disk[]}]]


"RGB"



If I now convert it back to "LAB" color space,


ColorConvert[
 Image[Graphics[{LABColor[0.4, 0.6, 0.8], Disk[]}]], "LAB"]

The color value that I get is




{0.40047, 0.603491, 0.548764}



(* Sorry, this was a mistake on my part. Duely corrected after following the answer by Theelepel *)


How can I get the original color value in the "LAB" color space?


Updated question: If the original color value is not known and I am given only with the final Graphics object showing RGB color value, How can I retrieve the original LAB color value?


Updation 2: Following the answer of corey979 to this question, I can see


Table[data = 
  ImageData[
    ColorConvert[Graphics[{LABColor[0.4, 0.6, b], Disk[]}], 

     "LAB"]][[100, 100]];
 N@Rationalize[#, 1/255] &@data, {b, 0, 1, 0.1}]


{{0.4, 0.6, 0.}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.105263}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.2}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.3}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.407407}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.5}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.545455}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.545455}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.545455}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.545455}, {0.4, 0.6, 0.545455}}



Clearly, up to 0.5 for the value of b this works fine except for 0.1 and 0.4. However, from 0.6 onwards the b value remains fixed at 0.545455.


(1) Is it not possible to resolve this issue? (2) Can there be any way in the Graphics option to prevent it from automatic conversion to RGB?

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
