\title{Create LUV Colors}
\usage{
LUV(L, U, V, names)
}
\arguments{
\item{L, U, V}{these arguments give the L, U and V coordinates of the colors.
The values can be provided in separate \code{L}, \code{U} and \code{V}
vectors or in a three-column matrix passed as \code{L}.}
\item{names}{a vector of names for the colors (by default the row names of
\code{L} are used).}
}
\value{
An object of class \code{LUV} which inherits from class \code{color}.
}
\description{
This function creates colors of class ``LUV''; a subclass of the virtual
\code{\link{color-class}} class.
}
\details{
The \code{L}, \code{U} and \code{V} values give the coordinates of the
colors in the CIE (1976) \eqn{L^*u^*v^*}{L*u*v*} space. This is a
transformation of the 1931 CIE XYZ space which attempts to produce
perceptually based axes. Luminance takes values between 0 and 100, and the other coordinates
typically take values between -100 and 100, although these values can also
be exceeded by highly saturated colors. The \eqn{u} and \eqn{v}
coordinates measure positions on green/red and blue/yellow axes.
}

x <- RGB(runif(1000), runif(1000), runif(1000))
y <- as(x, "LUV")
