apply_colormap

apply_colormap(C, f, min=None, max=None, log=False, piecewise_linear=False)

Maps function values to colors of a given colormap.

Apply a colormap produced with the colormap function to an array of scalar values.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
C numpy int array

Colormap matrix where each row corresponds to an RGB color. Compatible with maps produced by colormap

 required
f numpy double array

Vector of scalar function values to which to apply the colormap

 required
min double, optional (default None)

Scalar value corresponding to the beginning of C. Will auto-scale if None.

 None
max double, optional (default None)

Scalar value corresponding to the end of C. Will auto-scale if None.

 None
log bool, optional (default False)

Whether to log-scale the colormap or not. For this option, all values will be clamped to larger than machine epsilon.

 False
piecewise_linear bool, optional (default False)

Whether to treat the colormap as piecewise linear

 False

Returns:

Name Type Description
f_colored numpy double array

Matrix of C applied to f. Each row corresponds to a scalar value in f.

colormap.

Notes

All colormaps are assumed to be piecewise constant unless otherwise specified (be aware: the first and last colors of the colormap will span half as much length as the other colors, since they represent the colors at the minimum and maximum respectively).

Examples:

from gpytoolbox import apply_colormap, colormap
map_name = 'RdBu'
# Some random values
scalar_values = np.random.rand(100)
# Convert them into colors using the given map with 60 steps
C = apply_colormap(colormap(map, 60), scalar_values)
