/** @brief Factory for color space objects.
 *
 * These color space objects are needed in the constructors of various classes
 * of this library.
 *
 * Creating color space objects can be slow. But once created, they can be
 * used simultaneously on various widgets. Thanks to the QSharedPointer, you
 * can easily create a color space object, pass it to the widget constructors
 * you like, and then forget about it – it will be deleted automatically when
 * the last widget that used it has been deleted. And passing the shared
 * pointer to widget constructors is fast! Usage example:
