Please use this thread to discuss the best choice for a new *default*
matplotlib colormap.
This follows on from a discussion on the matplotlib-devel mailing list
entitled "How to move beyond JET as the default matplotlib colormap".
It is accepted that there can never be a *best* colormap for *all* data, so
some documentation on choosing an appropriate colormap for specific data
should always be sought. Nonetheless, matplotlib does need a default, and
it has been shown just how damaging the Jet (matplotlib's current default)
colormap really is, so we need to come up with a genuine alternative.
To keep this thread as useful as possible please avoid posting "+1" type
messages. If you'd like to suggest a colormap for consideration as
matplotlib's new *default* please try to keep to
reference-able/demonstrable fact.
Thanks,
Phil
