A custom function to use ColorBrewer scales in SQLite queries.
Colors are exported from here.
To install as a Python library and use with the standard SQLite3 module:
pip install sqlite-colorbrewer
To install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.
datasette install sqlite-colorbrewer
If you're using this library with Datasette, it will be automatically registered as a plugin and available for use in SQL queries, like so:
SELECT colorbrewer('Blues', 9, 0);That will return a single value: "rgb(247,251,255)"
To use with a SQLite connection outside of Datasette, use the register function:
>>> import sqlite3
>>> import sqlite_colorbrewer
>>> conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory')
>>> sqlite_colorbrewer.register(conn)
>>> cursor = conn.execute("SELECT colorbrewer('Blues', 9, 0);")
>>> result = next(cursor)
>>> print(result)
rgb(247,251,255)To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:
cd sqlite-colorbrewer
python3 -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Or if you are using pipenv:
pipenv shell
Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
pip install -e '.[test]'
To run the tests:
pytest
To build sqlite_colorbrewer/colorbrewer.py:
./json_to_python.py
black . # to format the resulting file
