ColormapDatabase.__getitem__

ColormapDatabase.__getitem__(key)[source]

Retrieve the colormap associated with the sanitized key name. The key name is case insensitive.

  • If the key ends in '_r', the result of cmap.reversed() is returned for the colormap registered under the preceding name.

  • If the key ends in '_s', the result of cmap.shifted(180) is returned for the colormap registered under the preceding name.

  • Reversed diverging colormaps can be requested with their “reversed” name – for example, 'BuRd' is equivalent to 'RdBu_r'.
