Hi,
incidentally, I, Sebastian and Vitaly are discussing on what to call
these pieces in Weston:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/merge_requests/582#note_947292
They might not even be the transfer functions but just some curves,
e.g. optimized to keep a 3D LUT small without sacrificing precision.
Thanks,
