register_cmaps¶

register_cmaps()[source]¶

Add colormaps packaged with ProPlot or saved to the ~/.proplot/cmaps folder. This is called on import. Maps are registered according to their filenames – for example, name.xyz will be registered as 'name'.

This is called on import. Use show_cmaps to generate a table of the registered colormaps

Valid extensions are listed in the below table.

Extension	Description
`.hex`	List of HEX strings in any format (comma-separated, separate lines, with double quotes… anything goes).
`.xml`	XML files with `<Point .../>` entries specifying `x`, `r`, `g`, `b`, and optionally, `a` values, where `x` is the colormap coordinate and the rest are the RGB and opacity (or “alpha”) values.
`.rgb`	3-column table delimited by commas or consecutive spaces, each column indicating red, blue and green color values.
`.xrgb`	As with `.rgb`, but with 4 columns. The first column indicates the colormap coordinate.
`.rgba`, `.xrgba`	As with `.rgb`, `.xrgb`, but with a trailing opacity (or “alpha”) column.
