[Matplotlib-users] Is there interrest for an implementation of colour maps visualising small differences around 0

2014-03-14 Thread Pål Gunnar Ellingsen
Hi I've created a python method for making a jet colour map which clearly shows small changes around a given point in the colour map, (i.e. the opposite of a diverging colour map http://www.sandia.gov/~kmorel/documents/ColorMaps/ ). This looks something like figure four on: http://biomedicaloptics

Hi Paul I'm aware that matplotlib has moved away from the jet map, which in most cases I would agree is a good thing. My map is not a replacement for the jet colourmap, or any other colourmap. My map is the "inverse" of the diverging colourmaps, seeking to enhance small changes around a certain pa
