- The program can do what:
Export the python's colormap into MATLAB (txt files) or Origin (.pal) format.
The python colormaps are very comprehensive and beautiful. We may want use it in Origin or MATLAB. This program aims to generate such kind of colormap files .
The generated '.pal' files can be used in origin and the 'txt' files can be used in MATLAB.
This is actually a python version of the MATLAB function cmap2pal. To write this I got help from the stack overflow:
How to write char and integer into binary files with specificed precison using python?
- How to use:
This program has a plain version MATLABorOriginColormapGeneratefromPython.py which directly export the colormap files or another version GUI_MATLABorOriginColormapGeneratefromPython.py which has a GUI as blew. You could type the name of the colormaps in python and then preview the colormap in the GUI and finally export the corresponding files.
- 程序的用途：
Python的颜色图（ colormaps）非常多而且非常好看，在用Origin或者MATLAB的时候自己也想用Python的颜色图，因此写了这样一个程序。
其实已经有一个将MATLAB程序导出为Origin的‘pal’文件的函数cmap2pal，但是我想导出Python的颜色图的话就得先导出一个MATLAB版本的，再将MATLAB导出为‘pal’文件，比较麻烦，因此我‘cmap2pal’做了一点修改，变成了Python版本，并且添加了图像化的界面。具体写的时候一些二进制的输出的问题参见了这个问题的答案：

- 如何使用
直接打开程序，选取你要输出的颜色图的名字以及是输出到MATLAB还是Origin格式。
图形化的操作多了一个预览操作，你可以提前预览你输出的颜色图的名字。
