This is my fault; I need to write that. > documentation or provide an explanation, I'd be grateful. This may help: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/cm_api.html and this: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/custom_cmap.html Beware: the posted docs are current, so may include functions that are not in the version of mpl you have installed. If you search for "cmap" using the search box in the doc webpage sidebar, you will get many more examples of the use of colormaps. Browsing these examples may be the quickest way of getting the basic ideas of how cmaps (and their partners, norms) are used. Looking at the source code is also helpful.
