matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap#

class matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(colors, name='from_list', N=None)[source]#

Colormap object generated from a list of colors.

This may be most useful when indexing directly into a colormap, but it can also be used to generate special colormaps for ordinary mapping.

Parameters:

colorslist, array

Sequence of Matplotlib color specifications (color names or RGB(A) values).

namestr, optional

String to identify the colormap.

Nint, optional

Number of entries in the map. The default is None, in which case there is one colormap entry for each element in the list of colors. If

N < len(colors)

the list will be truncated at N. If

N > len(colors)

the list will be extended by repetition.

Parameters:

resampled(lutsize)[source]#: Return a new colormap with lutsize entries.

reversed(name=None)[source]#

Return a reversed instance of the Colormap.

Parameters:

namestr, optional: The name for the reversed colormap. If None, the name is set to self.name + "_r".

Returns:
