xoa.color.CmapAdapter

class xoa.color.CmapAdapter(cmap, specs=None)[source]

Adapt a given colormap to data

Parameters:

  • cmap – The colormap to adapt

  • specs (str, None) –

    Transformation specifications or None.

    When a string, it must have the format "<type><value>", where type is "piv" or "cyc", and value is convertible to a float.

    If type is "piv", that colormap is expected typically to be diverging, and is cropped using crop_cmap(), after min and max value are set with set_vlim().

    If type is "cyc", min is set to 0 and max to value, and the colormap is expected to be circular, like "cmo.phase".

Example

In [1]: cma = CmapAdapter('cmo.balance', 'piv0')

In [2]: data = np.arange(100).reshape(10, 10) - 20

In [3]: cma.set_vlim(data.min(), data.max())
Out[3]: (-20, 79)

In [4]: plt.contourf(data, **cma.get_dict());

In [5]: plt.colorbar();

Methods

get_cmap()

Get the adapted colormap

get_dict()

The specs for plots as a dict whose keys are cmap, vmin and vmax

set_vlim(vmin, vmax)

Set the min and max data value for scaling
