“Color” section in the gallery.</p>
<div class="section" id="module-matplotlib.colors">
<span id="matplotlib-colors"></span><h2><a class="reference internal" href="#module-matplotlib.colors" title="matplotlib.colors"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">matplotlib.colors</span></tt></a><a class="headerlink" href="#module-matplotlib.colors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A module for converting numbers or color arguments to <em>RGB</em> or <em>RGBA</em></p>
<p><em>RGB</em> and <em>RGBA</em> are sequences of, respectively, 3 or 4 floats in the
range 0-1.</p>
<p>This module includes functions and classes for color specification
conversions, and for mapping numbers to colors in a 1-D array of colors called
a colormap. Colormapping typically involves two steps: a data array is first
mapped onto the range 0-1 using an instance of <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.colors.Normalize" title="matplotlib.colors.Normalize"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Normalize</span></tt></a> or of a
subclass; then this number in the 0-1 range is mapped to a color using an
instance of a subclass of <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.colors.Colormap" title="matplotlib.colors.Colormap"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Colormap</span></tt></a>. Two are provided here:
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap" title="matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">LinearSegmentedColormap</span></tt></a>, which is used to generate all the built-in
colormap instances, but is also useful for making custom colormaps, and
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap" title="matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ListedColormap</span></tt></a>, which is used for generating a custom colormap from a
list of color specifications.</p>
<p>The module also provides a single instance, <em>colorConverter</em>, of the
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter" title="matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ColorConverter</span></tt></a> class providing methods for converting single color
specifications or sequences of them to <em>RGB</em> or <em>RGBA</em>.</p>
<p>Commands which take color arguments can use several formats to specify
the colors. For the basic built-in colors, you can use a single letter</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>b: blue</li>
<li>g: green</li>
<li>r: red</li>
<li>c: cyan</li>
<li>m: magenta</li>
<li>y: yellow</li>
<li>k: black</li>
<li>w: white</li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Gray shades can be given as a string encoding a float in the 0-1 range, e.g.:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">color</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'0.75'</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For a greater range of colors, you have two options. You can specify the
color using an html hex string, as in:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">color</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'#eeefff'</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>or you can pass an <em>R</em> , <em>G</em> , <em>B</em> tuple, where each of <em>R</em> , <em>G</em> , <em>B</em> are in
the range [0,1].</p>
<p>Finally, legal html names for colors, like ‘red’, ‘burlywood’ and ‘chartreuse’
are supported.</p>

<p>A class which, when called, can normalize data into
the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[0.0,</span> <span class="pre">1.0]</span></tt> interval.</p>
<p>If <em>vmin</em> or <em>vmax</em> is not given, they are taken from the input’s
minimum and maximum value respectively. If <em>clip</em> is <em>True</em> and
the given value falls outside the range, the returned value
will be 0 or 1, whichever is closer. Returns 0 if:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">vmin</span><span class="o">==</span><span class="n">vmax</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Works with scalars or arrays, including masked arrays. If
<em>clip</em> is <em>True</em>, masked values are set to 1; otherwise they
remain masked. Clipping silently defeats the purpose of setting
the over, under, and masked colors in the colormap, so it is
likely to lead to surprises; therefore the default is
<em>clip</em> = <em>False</em>.</p>

<p>The symmetrical logarithmic scale is logarithmic in both the
positive and negative directions from the origin.</p>
<p>Since the values close to zero tend toward infinity, there is a
need to have a range around zero that is linear. The parameter
<em>linthresh</em> allows the user to specify the size of this range
(-<em>linthresh</em>, <em>linthresh</em>).</p>
<p><em>linthresh</em>:
The range within which the plot is linear (to
avoid having the plot go to infinity around zero).</p>
<p><em>linscale</em>:
This allows the linear range (-<em>linthresh</em> to <em>linthresh</em>)
to be stretched relative to the logarithmic range. Its
value is the number of decades to use for each half of the
linear range. For example, when <em>linscale</em> == 1.0 (the
default), the space used for the positive and negative
halves of the linear range will be equal to one decade in
the logarithmic range. Defaults to 1.</p>
