Returns a gamma corrected color.

Gamma factors are used to correct for non-linear input and output devices; for example, monitors typically have gamma factors between 1.7 and 2.2, meaning that one-half of the peak voltage does not give one half of the brightness. This is corrected for by raising the color components to the gamma exponent. Gamma factors greater than 1 make an image brighter; less than 1 make it darker. The inverse of gamma_correction(factor) is gamma_correction(1.0/factor).

Parameters
color color to be corrected
gamma_factor gamma factor, must be greater than zero.
