I took a stab at it, how does this look?
I also took the liberty of adding alpha to LinearSegmentedColormap and
updated its docstring changing two somewhat ambiguous uses of the word
'entry' with 'key' and 'value'.
tested with
In [1]: import matplotlib; import numpy as np
In [2]: my_rgba_array= np.array( [[ 1., 1., 1., 0.65],
[ 1., 0., 0., 0.79]])
In [3]: myColormap = matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(my_rgba_array)
In [4]: myColormap.__call__(.1)
Out[4]: (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.65000000000000002)
In [5]: myColormap.__call__(.9)
Out[5]: (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.790000000000000
In [6]: my_rgba_array= np.array( [ [ 1. , 1. , 1. ],
[ 1. , 0. , 0. ]])
In [7]: myColormap = matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(my_rgba_array)
In [8]: myColormap.__call__(.1)
Out[8]: (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
In [9]: myColormap.__call__(.9)
Out[9]: (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
cheers,
Paul Ivanov
