Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to express statistical data in colors

you'll be doing something like the second color bar, but making the boundary
and color definitions a lot more flexible. Where the discrete color bar uses
cmap = mpl.colors.ListedColormap(['r', 'g', 'b', 'c'])
bounds = [1, 2, 4, 7, 8]
you'll be making a whole LinearSegmentedColormap, see
http://matplotlib.org/api/colors_api.html#matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap
and check out specifically the ascii-art explanation of interpolation between
row[i] and row[i+1]. Red, green, blue will break based on your data density
and how you want to express 'intensity'. And depending on whether you'll make
it red-green-colorblindness neutral!
Interesting problem. Has it been implemented in some other software?
