polar form of ICtCp ?

[SoftMoonWebWare]

I'm now in the process of implementing ICtCp into my MasterColorPicker project. Adding it as a output-color-space-model is no problem. I also want to incorporate it into a "polar" style (color-wheel) color-picker with an "intensity" slider (lightness/brightness/gray/black in other color-space-models). I could do this also without problem, but .....
The MasterColorPicker has a "native" color-space-model-output choice, that outputs specs in whatever color-space the active color-picker itself is using. (There are 6 different graphical pickers using many different models, plus named-color tables that give you color-names when "native" is selected).
If I incorporate ICtCp into the "polar" (color-wheel) color-picker (I call it the BeezEye), what do I supply as a "native" color-space-model when it's settings are to use ICtCp ? All the "other" rectangular spaces have polar forms (LCH, LCHuv, OKLCh) plus there is HSL, HSV, etc. There are 12 other models the BeezEye uses, all with an angular "hue" component. I want to keep consistency.
I'm about to call it "Ichtp", (or with my code it will be Ichᵀᴾ from ICᵀCᴾ for easier reading and instant logical comprehension; similarly I use JᶻCᶻhᶻ and Jᶻaᶻbᶻ because Jzazbz hurts my eyes trying to look at it; however, end-users will still be able to use Jᶻaᶻbᶻ or Jzazbz or ICᵀCᴾ or ICtCp)

Anyway, is there any "official" talk about this polar form of ICᵀCᴾ ?

Should I just go my own way (who me? NO! never! HaHa) and call it Ichᵀᴾ ?

(p.s. I use lowercase c for chroma here to differentiate it from the uppercase C which seems to stand for "color" in ICᵀCᴾ as in "color - tritanopia" and "color - protanopia"; and lowercase h like OKLCh does to differentiate it from a "standard RGB hue mapping" found in HSL, HSV, etc.)
Thanks again for paving the way for me! I would be a long ways behind in development of my project, if it were not for this one.

I use JᶻCᶻhᶻ and Jᶻaᶻbᶻ because Jzazbz hurts my eyes trying to look at it;

It's traditionally J_zC_zh_z but if you prefer superscript as opposed to subscript, that's fine. I couldn't tell from your statement if you disliked JzCzhz or disliked J_zC_zh_z as well. No worries, I won't judge.

All the "other" rectangular spaces have polar forms (LCH, LCHuv, OKLCh) plus there is HSL, HSV, etc.

I think I found one random reference to LCHuv at one point, but I don't even know if it is common or not, but I used it, because I liked it 🤷🏻.

(p.s. I use lowercase c for chroma here to differentiate it from the uppercase C which seems to stand for "color" in ICᵀCᴾ as in "color - tritanopia" and "color - protanopia";

Often, I see C (chroma) capitalized, but yeah, I get it. I don't know if I've seen in writing the polar form of ICtCp. I don't know what I would specifically call it.

No problem. I'm glad you've found it useful in some capacity.

Thanks for your reply.
Either UNICODE or my common Arial font, as best as I can tell (and I looked twice or three times), does not have subscript z t p
I copied and pasted your text above, with JzCzhz except subscript z, into my text-editor (Komodo Edit), and I got simply JzCzhz.
In fact, I just pasted that here in this message - no subscript.
Unicode may have these characters or not, I don't remember exactly, but I think it did for one; but if I copy it from the Wikipedia page, it shows in my editor as an unrecognized character.
I am now copying Jᶻaᶻbᶻ and ICᵀCᴾ from the text above, and it preserves these "modifier letters" as they are called.
Javascript recognizes them as legal characters in a variable or property or function name. Same with LChᵤᵥ and HSLᵤᵥ. (How did I learn that? By reading code in this project, and seeing Greek letters used - they were not legal when I started my project) These subscript and modifier letters are available in most if not all standard fonts, or so it seems so far, anyway.
So my generic plain-text-output from MasterColorPicker can also output them. I'm not savvy with these online editors, and I'm not even sure how you got the subscript z to show up (oh, now I see markdown is supported). But the ᵤᵥᶻᵀᴾ characters work with any basic plain-text editor, browser, etc. etc. Komodo Edit lets me create "snippets" triggered by keystrokes, so I type CTRL+ALT+U, ↓ (arrow-down) and get ᵤ or CTRL+ALT+Z, ↑ (arrow-up) and get ᶻ etc.
Like I said, I go my own way sometimes, and this is one of those times. It just makes it easier to read. Nothing against subscript at all! Peace and equality and respect to all scripts! But I gotta have something that actually works here....
In my next update, I will have a new "output formatter" dialog where end-users can choose to use the CSS color() function as text-output for color-space-models that CSS supports, and then I drop the fancy characters and make it an eyesore. Otherwise, end-users and code-readers get the easy-eye version.

Your project is not just useful in SOME capacity. It is useful in many different capacities. It does more than my project..in fact it does things that I don't yet even understand or even knew I needed to understand...it teaches me. But my project is different all together. Somehow, I never saw "Coloraide" until I saw a link in this project just today. I haven't looked into the code of that project; but in trying to build my own project from the ground up, looking at other works on GitHub, Wikipedia, etc., I was overwhelmed with questions seemingly without answers, until I found this project. I gotta admit, I don't know how this Class works internally - that still confuses me; but when it comes to understanding the most important part (to me): color-theory, color conversion algorithms and processes in general, this project is golden.

I only hope my project becomes useful in some capacity. Maybe it will, because of what I learned here.
Mahalo again and Aloha!

If we find a suitable Unicode character, we should change the color space name in the source. That's a nice first-time PR :)

Sorry for the slow response.
For the record, I decided that your perspective, facelessuser, is better. I implemented IChᵀᴾ (with the capital C for Chroma) in my MasterColorPicker project. I think it is better to be more consistent. It makes a nice addition to the BeezEye (color-wheel style) color-picker, alongside LCh, LChᵤᵥ, OKLCh, JᶻCᶻhᶻ, as well as others that conform to sRGB. I find it amazing how different they all consider "lightness/intensity" to be for various hues.
I'm battling accuracy problems, but I think I got it worked out....needs higher accuracy (more decimal places) in the toString() output. Hopefully it is a useful tool. Any other color-pickers out there that do JᶻCᶻhᶻ or IChᵀᴾ?
P.S. that "Evil Russians" LCh/OKLCh color-picker here on GitHub that Google loves (loved) to promote and runs on Node.js seems to activate your computer's camera and change its viewing angle. (I'm intentionally not using their user-name, but a "synonym") read the code before using anything Or am I missing something there? What else would Camera be in the Node.js environment? Go to their website (again, I'm not going to mention the address) and it's got stuff running in the background at full-speed; got my CPU fan running at top-speed, when it normally is slow (dragging a map in Google maps will fire it up, also, so it's tied to performance needs). Initially, I was interested in incorporating their work into the MasterColorPicker. Tried to decipher their website's code, but it is obfuscated; but it seems to use a lot of Web-assembly. One of those sites that hijack your CPU for some multi-year long computation by 100,000 computers needed to find the trajectory to planet X through wormhole Z? Not going to find that with the MasterColorPicker.....
Aloha! (and please take Aloha to heart!)

I haven't seen that. My camera does not seem to be activated by their color picker. No camera position is every asked.

Or are you looking through their code? Camera may refer to where to the 3D viewing position is, e.g. the camera viewing the 3D object. Not your real camera.
