Hello list, I know that this is very simple for most of the people, but since it took some time to figure it out I'm sharing here. It's useful for those that, like me, have dozens of personalized colormaps in matlab r,g,b lists.
def cmat2cmpl(r, g, b): """ Convert matlab style colormap to matplotlib style Enter a list non normalized RGB values from 0-255 """ r = np.array(r)/255. g = np.array(g)/255. b = np.array(b)/255. cmap = mpl.colors.ListedColormap(zip(r,g,b)) return cmap r = [8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 10, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0] g = [241, 237, 234, 231, 228, 225, 222, 218, 215, 212, 209, 204, 199, 194, 190, 185, 180, 175, 171, 166, 161, 160, 158, 157, 156, 154, 153, 152, 150, 149, 148, 146, 145, 144, 142, 141, 140, 134, 129, 124, 119, 114, 109, 103, 98, 93, 88, 83, 77, 72, 67, 62, 57, 51, 46, 41, 36, 31, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0] b = [255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 247, 240, 232, 225, 217, 210, 202, 195, 188, 180, 173, 165, 158, 150, 143] mycmap = cmat2cmpl(r, g, b) a=outer(arange(0,1,0.001),ones(10)) imshow(a,aspect='auto',cmap=mycmap,origin="lower") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
