[julia-users] Manual color selection from a PyPlot ColorMap

[Chris Binz]

Is there a way of getting an individual color value via an "index" of a 
ColorMap object in PyPlot? This (Python) code snippet (from here 
<http://stackoverflow.com/a/12858391/2175008>) hopefully explains what I'm 
after:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

>>> Blues = plt.get_cmap('Blues')
>>> print Blues(0)
(0.9686274528503418, 0.9843137264251709, 1.0, 1.0)
>>> print Blues(0.5)
(0.41708574119736169, 0.68063054575639614, 0.83823145908467911, 1.0)
>>> print Blues(1.0)
(0.96555171293370867, 0.9823452528785257, 0.9990157632266774, 1.0)


Thanks,
