ColorDict.__getitem__

ColorDict.__getitem__(key)[source]

Allows user to select colors from arbitrary named colormaps and color cycles.

  • For a smooth colormap, usage is e.g. color=('Blues', 0.8). The number is the colormap index, and must be between 0 and 1.

  • For a color cycle, usage is e.g. color=('colorblind', 2). The number is the list index.

These examples work with any matplotlib command that accepts a color keyword arg.
