ColorDatabase.cache

property ColorDatabase.cache

A special dictionary subclass capable of retrieving colors “on-the-fly” from registered colormaps and color cycles.

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

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

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