Color Map Data

Description

A data set containing the RGB values of the color maps included in the package. These are:

• 'magma', 'inferno', 'plasma', and 'viridis' as defined in Matplotlib for Python. These color maps are designed in such a way that they will analytically be perfectly perceptually-uniform, both in regular form and also when converted to black-and-white. They are also designed to be perceived by readers with the most common form of color blindness. They were created by Stéfan van der Walt and Nathaniel Smith;

• 'cividis', a corrected version of 'viridis', 'cividis', developed by Jamie R. Nuñez, Christopher R. Anderton, and Ryan S. Renslow, and originally ported to R by Marco Sciaini. It is designed to be perceived by readers with all forms of color blindness;

• 'rocket' and 'mako' as defined in Seaborn for Python;

• 'turbo', an improved Jet rainbow color map for reducing false detail, banding and color blindness ambiguity.

Usage

viridis.map
