A large (+2500) collection of color maps for Python.
All available palettes can be found on the dedicated website
You can find an introduction to PyPalettes in the Python Graph Gallery, with code samples and explanations about how to use this library in many different cases.
You can install pypalettes directly from PyPI with:
pip install pypalettesAlternatively you can install the development version with:
pip install git+https://github.com/JosephBARBIERDARNAL/pypalettes.gitOnce the cmap is loaded, you can use it as any other color map in matplotlib or seaborn.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
from pypalettes import load_cmap
import numpy as np
data = np.random.rand(10, 12)
cmap = load_cmap('Anemone', type='continuous')
sns.heatmap(data, cmap=cmap)
plt.show()
- Load a color map:
from pypalettes import load_cmap
cmap = load_cmap('Chaetodon_sedentarius')
cmap
- Transform a qualitative color map into a continuous one:
from pypalettes import load_cmap
cmap = load_cmap('Chaetodon_sedentarius', type='continuous')
cmap
- Invert a color map:
from pypalettes import load_cmap
cmap = load_cmap('Chaetodon_sedentarius', reverse=True)
cmap
- Get hex values of a color map:
from pypalettes import get_hex
get_hex('pupitar')['#7098C0FF', '#88C0E8FF', '#285880FF', '#B8E0F8FF', '#F8F8F8FF', '#404060FF', '#A8A8A8FF', '#C8C8D0FF', '#B04000FF']
- Get rgb values of a color map:
from pypalettes import get_rgb
get_rgb('AirNomads')[(255, 153, 51), (194, 72, 65), (255, 255, 51), (139, 91, 69), (135, 175, 209), (238, 176, 90), (219, 197, 160)]
