LinearSegmentedColormap.cut¶

LinearSegmentedColormap.cut(cut=None, name=None, left=None, right=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Return a version of the colormap with the center “cut out”. This is great for making the transition from “negative” to “positive” in a diverging colormap more distinct.

Parameters

cut (float, optional) – The proportion to cut from the center of the colormap. For example, cut=0.1 cuts the central 10%, or cut=-0.1 fills the ctranl 10% of the colormap with the current central color (usually white).
name (str, optional) – The name of the new colormap. Default is self.name + '_copy'.
left, right (float, optional) – The colormap indices for the “leftmost” and “rightmost” colors. Defaults are 0 and 1. See truncate for details.
right (float, optional) – The colormap index for the new “rightmost” color. Must fall between

Other Parameters

**kwargs – Passed to LinearSegmentedColormap.copy or PerceptuallyUniformColormap.copy.

Returns

LinearSegmentedColormap – The colormap.
