Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using colourmap from matplotlib
Hi, I haven't tried it, but maybe it's to do with the fact that you're quantising the colourmap to 256 values; I think matplotlib computes the exact rgb values using interpolation. If the only reason you're using PIL is to get a .bmp file, maybe you could save the file straight from matplotlib as a .png then externally convert it to a .bmp I thought so until I put in cm.jet[255] and it maxed out. The granularity of the 255 colours that I get from exporting the RGB values is more than enough for the ranges of data I use. So I am happy with that.

[Matplotlib-users] Using colourmap from matplotlib
Hi, I am trying to create an image from an array using PIL, numpy and a colourmap from matplotlib. I got the colourmap by using ipython and the following code colourmap = [] for i in xrange(256): r,g,b,a = cm.jet(i) r = int(round((r * 255),0)) g = int(round((g * 255),0)) b = int(round((b* 255),0)) colourmap.append((r,g,b)) The following is used to plot an array: def array2image(array, scale=log, filename=tmp): # create image of the correct size new_image = Image.new(RGB, array.shape) # scan through a matrix and use Image.putdata() to put it in. x_size, y_size = array.shape largest = array.max() a_list = array.ravel() new_list = [] for x in a_list: if x == 0: new_list.append((0,0,0)) else: value = (log(x)/log(largest))*255 value = int(round(value,0)) value = blues_colourmap[value] #print value new_list.append(value) new_image.putdata(new_list) new_image.save(filename+.bmp) The image that is outputted is certainly correct for the data, however it is just no where near as pretty as the image you get from using plt.imshow(am_array) I'd like to get something that looks the same. I don't think the problems are because of the colourmap but rather because of my log scaling. Could someone please explain how matplotlib scales the image to make it look so nice?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using colourmap from matplotlib
2010/3/18 Ciarán Mooney general.moo...@googlemail.com:
value = (log(x)/log(largest))*255
Just two thoughts:
1) I doubt the statement cited above is not correct, as it may also
yield negative values as soon as 0 x 1. In fact, you are
calculating log_{largest}(x). This crosses zero for x = 1. What I
deem correct instead, is a linear mapping of the log space (logmin,
log(largest)) onto (0, 1). There logmin may be negative.
2) When matplotlib does the job, maybe use:
axes = fig.add_axes([0, 0, 1, 1])
axes.imshow(...)
This lets the axes fill the whole figure space, without margins. You
can also turn off the ticks if you want.
