Class
Common
```kotlin
value class RenderIntent internal constructor(@Suppress("unused") internal val value: Int)
```
A render intent determines how a `connector` maps colors from one color space to
another. The choice of mapping is important when the source color space has a larger color gamut
than the destination color space.
## Companion Object
#### Properties
Common
```kotlin
val Perceptual = RenderIntent(0)
```
Compresses the source gamut into the destination gamut. This render intent affects all
colors, inside and outside of destination gamut. The goal of this render intent is to
preserve the visual relationship between colors.
This render intent is currently not implemented and behaves like `Relative`.
Common
```kotlin
val Relative = RenderIntent(1)
```
Similar to the `Absolute` render intent, this render intent matches the closest color in
the destination gamut but makes adjustments for the destination white point.
Common
```kotlin
val Saturation = RenderIntent(2)
```
Attempts to maintain the relative saturation of colors from the source gamut to the
destination gamut, to keep highly saturated colors as saturated as possible.
This render intent is currently not implemented and behaves like `Relative`.
Common
```kotlin
val Absolute = RenderIntent(3)
```
Colors that are in the destination gamut are left unchanged. Colors that fall outside of
the destination gamut are mapped to the closest possible color within the gamut of the
destination color space (they are clipped).
