Dear Tony, I tried the example with several colormaps (have you checked out cubehelix which nicely resembles the grey scale visual intensity distribution in color) and I definitely agree that it would be good for matplotlib to switch to a more sensible default color map. My personal vote goes to coolwarm which has well defined behaviour and is suitable (e.g. looks nice) for a wide range of applications.
Kind regards, Pim Schellart P.S. Although cubehelix also has well defined behaviour it is less optimal as a default since it does not look nice in all use cases (but is very good in some, particularly for cases where the percieved intensity distribution needs to be the same when viewed on screen and printed in black and white). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
