made some fixes to the Brewer color tables addressing the issues reported in the comments of the last update by Philippe Le Sage. from MPIA wrote a short IDL script that basically takes the rgb.
#Idl color table code
There was some Python code to access it (I think), but it used a look-up table, and didn't look concise enough. We have our own colour table, mostly used for kinematics or similar spatial plots. The user wouuld first call PXPERFECT () to determine what the appropriate settings. The current direct graphics device must be a screen display device, such as 'X' or 'WIN'. So I just load the 256 colors and use only the first 233 colors. Converting IDL color table to Python: Matplotlib colour map from rgb array. Once this size is determined, IDL will adjust other Postscript output dimensions such as plot margins, font sizes, symbol sizes, etc, to match exactly the on-screen layout. First half is index 0-116 and second half is 117-233. It also didn’t seem worthwhile to interpolate them to take up all 256 indices, now they just use the actual needed indices.īy plotting R,G and B vectors, I found that the diverging tables are centered on 117. My most recent version has different values for the qualitative color tables since it seemed silly to have a separate color table for each number of colors (since the 7 color version is exactly the same first 6 colors in the color table). IDL> loadct, 22, file=file_which(‘brewer.tbl’), ncolo=64 IDL> loadct, 22, file=file_which(‘brewer.tbl’), ncolo=16 IDL> loadct, 22, file=file_which(‘brewer.tbl’) No too much of an issue when loading very few or a lot of colors, but may bother some users loading 20-40 colors? You expect to have a clear neutral middle color (even though not in the table itself), but in the RdBu for example the 121-127 indices seem to be on the “blue side”. The diverging color tables seem a little bit off-center: I have a little concern about the interpolation to 256 colors you used to produce the tbl file. I have thought using those color tables since I saw the Brewer article in EOS, but never implemented more than one in my IDL codes. I updated the color tables to fix problems with the qualitative color tables and added new routines to access Here’s a list of all the tables:ĥ Responses to “Updated Brewer color tables” The order of the tables (sequential first, then the diverging, and then ending with all the variations of the qualitative) was also changed to match the Brewer order instead of the previous alphabetical listing. In total, there are 18 sequential, 9 diverging, and 58 qualitative color tables (of 8 different styles). For example, “Pastel1” has versions with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 colors. The qualitative color tables each have multiple versions included, depending on how many colors are needed.
#Idl color table full
These color tables are for labeling, so they contain 3 to 12 colors instead of a full set of 256 colors. The update fixes the qualitative color tables. The () includes `MG_LOADCT` and `MG_XLOADCT`, which are wrappers around `LOADCT` and `XLOADCT` that use the Brewer color tables instead of the default color tables. I have updated the Brewer color tables that I () last fall.
