    <br>
    <h3>Comments</h3>
    The parameters are all those that control which table in the ICC
    profile to use, as well as what color space to convert it to. <br>
    <br>
    The<b> -v</b> flag dumps out the ICC profile header information.
    Using <b>-v</b> <b>-w</b> will also print the gamut volume in
    cubic L*a*b* units.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-d</b> parameter controls the level of detail displayed in
    the surface. The parameter roughly corresponds to a deltaE value, so
    smaller values give greater detail. The default value is around 10,
    and is a good place to start. Small values may take a lot of time to
    generate, and will produce big files.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-w</b> flag causes a X3DOM file to be produced, as well as a
    gamut file.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-n</b> flag suppresses the L*a*b* axes being created in the
    X3DOM.<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-k</span> flag adds markers
    for each of the primary and secondary "cusp" points (Red, Yellow,
    Green, Cyan, Blue &amp; Magenta). No markers will be displayed if
    the cusps cannot be determined.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-f </b>parameter allows choosing the ICC table to be used
    in plotting the gamut. The backwards tables generally incorporate
    gamut compression, and therefore don't reflect the native
    capabilities of the device.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-i</b> flag selects the intent transform used for a lut
    based profile. It also selects between relative and absolute
    colorimetric for non-lut base profiles. Note that anything other
    than colorimetric may not represent the native capabilities of the
    device. The default intent will be absolute colorimetic for L*a*b*
    output, and CIECAM02 appearance for Jab output.<br>
    <br>
    An ICC profile is allowed to contain more than the minimum number of
    elements or table needed to describe a certain transform, and may
    contain redundant descriptions. &nbsp;By default, lut based table
    information will be used first if present, followed by matrix/shaper
    information, and only using monochrome information if it is all that
    is present. The <b>-o</b> flag, reverses this
    order.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
    <br>
    <span style="font-weight: bold;">-p</span>: By default the gamut
    will be created in L*a*b* colorspace. If&nbsp; <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">-pj</span> is selected, then CIECAM02
    appearance space Jab will be used for the output, and the viewing
    conditions will be taken into account. Jab space is what is normally
    needed to be compatible with the default intents used in <a
      href="colprof.html">colprof</a>. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
    </span>Note that the CIECAM02 output space selection by default uses
    the colorimetric transform of the profile resulting in the
    appearance of the native device, but that the perceptual or
    saturation transforms may be used by selecting them using the <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">-i</span> parameter, which may give a
    different result with some profiles. This may be desirable if an
    image is to be transformed through the perceptual or saturation
    tables of a profile as part of a link with an Argyll generated
    output profile, since it will then represent the apparent gamut of
    the image when subject to these tables. If the absolute colorimetric
    intent is chosen using <span style="font-weight: bold;">-ia</span>
    in combinations with <span style="font-weight: bold;">-pj</span>,
    then&nbsp; Jab with a fixed white reference is used, which emulates
    an absolute CIECAM02 Jab appearance space. <br>
    <br>
    The <b>-l</b> parameter allows setting a total ink limit (TAC) for
    printing devices. If a device has a total ink limit, and hasn't been
    characterised with device values above this limit, then plotting the
    gamut in these areas will almost certainly be misleading. tables. By
    default, a total ink limit will be estimated from the profile
    tables. The ink limit will be in final calibrated device values if
    the profile includes calibration information.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-L</b> parameter allows setting a black ink limit for
    printing devices. If a device is to be used with a black ink limit,
    then it is useful to evaluate the gamut with the limit in place. By
    default, a black ink limit will be estimated from the profile
    tables. The ink limit will be in final calibrated device values if
    the profile includes calibration information.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-c</b> parameter allows setting the CIECAM02 viewing
    conditions, either by choosing a typical viewing environment, or
    controlling particular viewing condition parameters.<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-s</span> flag creates a
    special hyper-cube surface plot that is artificially colored. This
    can be useful for identifying the topology of the black ink color
    response.<br>
    <h3>Example<br>
    </h3>
    To create a view in L*a*b* of the absolute gamut of a CMYK file with
    an ink limit of 260%, one might use:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-style: italic;">iccgamut -w
      -ff -ia -l260 profile.icm</span><br>
    <br>
    and the resulting files will be <span style="text-decoration:
      underline;">profile.gam</span> and <span style="text-decoration:
      underline;">profile.x3d.html</span>.<br>
    <br>
    To create a gamut suitable for CIECAM02&nbsp; gamut mapping space in
