[Matplotlib-users] creating colors for many plots

[MaxMax]

i have found a solution for creating colors for many plots at this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7513262/matplotlib-large-set-of-colors-for-plots

what does this the following line do?
colors = plt.get_cmap('jet')(np.linspace(0, 1.0, len(kinds)))

plt.get_cmap('jet') gets a LinearSegmentedColormap object and np.linspace
creates a ndarray
but what happens because of this instruction?

thanks

I found the spectral colormap is best suited to distinguish between many
equal spaced colors.

I am find it sad, that matplotlib has so many features, but is so
unintuitive to use.
