matplotlib 3.5.1

ParametersBackRef

This may be most useful when indexing directly into a colormap, but it can also be used to generate special colormaps for ordinary mapping.

Parameters

colors : list, array

List of Matplotlib color specifications, or an equivalent Nx3 or Nx4 floating point array (N rgb or rgba values).

name : str, optional

String to identify the colormap.

N : int, optional

Number of entries in the map. The default is None, in which case there is one colormap entry for each element in the list of colors. If :

N < len(colors)

the list will be truncated at N. If :

N > len(colors)

the list will be extended by repetition.

Colormap object generated from a list of colors.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

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
