    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to substructures for three-dimensional objects are described. In an example, a processing apparatus includes: an interface to receive data representing a three-dimensional model object, the data including object model data and object property data; a mapping module to map received data to a print material coverage representation; a halftone module to provide halftone threshold data; and a substructure module to define a substructure for a three-dimensional object to be generated, the substructure specifying in at least a region thereof a consistent lattice structure and a variable material distribution. The apparatus is to apply a substructure and a halftoning to the print material coverage representation to generate control data for the production of a three-dimensional object having the substructure.

    Abstract: A method is described in which colorant-space calibration data for a colorant-space image processing pipeline are determined. The colorant-space calibration data are converted into probability-space calibration data for a probability-space image processing pipeline. The probability-space calibration data are applied to image data processed in the probability-space image processing pipeline.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed wherein data representative of a plurality of colors defined In a color space is received, the plurality of colors providing a color palette taken to be related to each other by predefined color harmony rules based on their relative positions in the color space. An irreproducible color of the color palette outside a rendering system's reproducible color gamut is determined, the reproducible color gamut having been received for a rendering system on which image data comprising colors of the color palette is to be reproduced. A suggested color for a replacement color palette also complying with the predefined color harmony rules is determined based on the reproducible color gamut to bring the color palette towards being within the rendering system's reproducible color gamut.

    Abstract: In some examples, a plurality of print material combinations for object generation are determined, each print material combination having an associated color. A plurality of color descriptions may be determined, the color descriptions corresponding to a combination of voxels, each of the voxels of the combination of voxels having a defined print material combination and a defined depth with respect to a surface. A color mapping resource may be defined, the color mapping resource associating a color description with a print instruction, each print instruction being for use in causing an object generation apparatus to generate the combination of voxels corresponding to the associated color description.

    Abstract: A method is described. The method comprises determining a lightness coordinate value corresponding to a first color value along a black-white axis in an input device color space. A set of color values corresponding to the lightness coordinate value, in the input device color space is determined. A subset of the set, based on the respective angular positions of the color values in the set and an angular position of the first color value is determined. The method comprises deriving a set of print color space values of a target printing system comprising print color space values corresponding to the subset and a color value corresponding to the position of the lightness coordinate value, based on a predetermined association between input device color space values and print color space values. The method comprises determining a given print color space value corresponding to the first color value based on the derived set of print color space values.

    Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to the embedding a pattern in an output content having at least two-dimensions, for example a printed output. Content data having at least two dimensions is processed to generate an array of spatial elements, each spatial element corresponding to a respective location in the output content and comprising a probabilistic distribution for a set of output material compositions. A threshold matrix is generated using pattern data corresponding to a pattern, and the array of spatial elements is halftoned using the threshold matrix. The threshold matrix is generated such that the pattern is embedded in the output content.
