Typically, Colormap instances are used to convert data values (floats) from the interval [0, 1]
to the RGBA color that the respective Colormap represents. For scaling of data into the [0, 1]
interval see matplotlib.colors.Normalize
. Subclasses of matplotlib.cm.ScalarMappable
make heavy use of this data -> normalize -> map-to-color
processing chain.
Baseclass for all scalar to RGBA mappings.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
