Module containing functions to create Matplotlib color maps.

s3dlib.cmap_utilities.alpha_cmap(cmap, alpha, constant=False, name=None)

Set the Colormap alpha channel.

Parameters:

• cmap (str or Colormap, optional) – A Colormap instance or registered colormap name
• alpha (scalar) – Value set for the color alpha channel. The alpha values are in the range 0+ to 1-.
• constant (bool { True, False }, optional, False) – If False, alpha channel values are multiplied by alpha. If True, all alpha channels are assigned to a constant alpha.
• name (str, optional) – The registered name to identify the colormap. If it’s None, the name assigned the colormap name with ‘_a’ at the end characters.

Returns:

ListedColormap – An instance of a colormap.

s3dlib.cmap_utilities.binary_cmap(negColor='b', posColor='r', name=None, bndry=None)

A two-color Colormap.

Parameters:

• negColor (color, optional, default: 'blue') – Color at the low end of the Colormap range.
• posColor (color, optional, default: 'red') – Color at the high end of the Colormap range.
• name (str, optional, default: None) – The registered name to identify the colormap. If it’s None, name is assigned a string of 8 random characters.
• bndry (float, optional, default: 0.5) – The division between the negColor and posColor, with range from 0.03 to 0.97

Returns:

ListedColormap – An instance of a colormap.

s3dlib.cmap_utilities.hsv_cmap_gradient(lowHSV=[0, 1, 1], hiHSV=[1, 1, 1], name=None, mirrored=False, smooth=None)

A linear-in-HSV-space Colormap.

Using hSV or hSVA values for HSV color. SVA values are in the range [0,1]. The h values are in the range [0,2] so that Hue is mod(h,1).

Parameters:

• lowHSV (3 or 4 array or string, optional, default: [0,1,1], , 'red') – HSV, HSVA color at the low end of the Colormap range. If a string, a named color (may be proceeded by a ‘+’)
• hiHSV (3 or 4 array or string, optional, default: [1,1,1] , '+red') – HSV, HSVA color at the high end of the Colormap range. If a string, a named color (may be proceeded by a ‘+’)
• name (str, optional, default: None) – The registered name to identify the colormap. If it’s None, name is assigned a string of 8 random characters.
• mirrored (bool) – If True, colormap is divided into two linear segments with the lowHSV at the low and high values, the highColr in the middle.
• smooth (float, optional, default: None) – Controls the ratio of the amount of CMY to RGB color. CMY is extended relative to the RGB hues for values greater than one (relative to standard HSV colormap). RGB is extended relative to the CMY hues for values less than one. Range is [.1,10]

Returns:

ListedColormap – An instance of a colormap.

s3dlib.cmap_utilities.hue_cmap(lowHue=0, hiHue=None, smooth=1.6, name=None)

• smooth (float, optional, default: 1.6) – Controls the ratio of the amount of CMY to RGB color. CMY is extended relative to the RGB hues for values greater than one (relative to standard HSV colormap). RGB is extended relative to the CMY hues for values less than one. Range is [.1,10]

Parameters:

• cmap (str or Colormap, optional) – A Colormap instance or registered colormap name

• name (str, optional, default: None) – The registered name to identify the colormap. If it’s None, the map is not registered if a lambda function is the operation argument, otherwise, the operatonal function name is assigned to the cmap name.
• fit (bool, optional, default: True) – If True, the values return by the operation function will be fit to the range 0 to 1.

Returns:

ListedColormap – An instance of a colormap.
