Summary

Description
English: I made this in matlab (and screen captured it as a quick hack), from quantal data at http://www.cvrl.org/database/text/cones/smj2.htm. The black curve is a linear combination of the long and medium cone responses, and represents the photopic luminosity function. Probably other data sets are less lumpy.

Here's the code:
