Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
brewer2mpl is now Palettable <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/palettable/>
_!
brewer2mpl will no longer be updated, but will stay available here
for the foreseeable future.

brewer2mpl is a pure Python package for accessing
colorbrewer2.org <http://colorbrewer2.org>
_ color maps from Python.
With brewer2mpl you can get the raw RGB colors of all 165
colorbrewer2.org <http://colorbrewer2.org>
_ color maps. The color map data
ships with brewer2mpl so no internet connection is required.
For more information and to view some of the color maps see the wiki at https://github.com/jiffyclub/brewer2mpl/wiki.
colorbrewer2.org has 3 map types: sequential, diverging, and qualitative. Each color map has between 3 and 12 defined colors.
Listing Color Maps
List all of the available color maps::
brewer2mpl.print_maps()
List maps by type::
brewer2mpl.print_maps('sequential')
Filter by number of colors defined::
brewer2mpl.print_maps('qualitative', 6)
Get a Color Map
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Color maps are accessed by name, type, and number::
bmap = brewer2mpl.get_map('Paired', 'Qualitative', 5)
If you want a color map reversed from how it is given by colorbrewer2.org
set the `reverse` keyword to `True`::
bmap = brewer2mpl.get_map('Paired', 'Qualitative', 5, reverse=True)
`BrewerMap` Objects
Color maps are represented by BrewerMap
objects. They have a few useful
attributes::
# colorbrewer2.org url.
bmap.colorbrewer2_url
# colorbrewer2.org name
bmap.name
# number of defined colors
bmap.number
# colors as a list of RGB 0-255 triplets
bmap.colors
# colors as a list of hex strings
bmap.hex_colors
# colors as a list of RGB 0-1 triplets (as used by matplotlib)
bmap.mpl_colors
# matplotlib color map
bmap.mpl_colormap
To launch your browser and see a color map at colorbrewer2.org use the
colorbrewer2
method::
bmap.colorbrewer2()
The matplotlib color maps are created using
matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list
. If you want to pass
options to that method use the BrewerMap.get_mpl_colormap
method::
cmap = bmap.get_mpl_colormap(N=1000, gamma=2.0)
Direct Access
If you know the color map you want there is a shortcut for direct access.
You can import the `sequential`, `diverging`, or `qualitative` modules
from `brewer2mpl`. On the module namespace are dictionaries containing
`BrewerMap` objects keyed by number of defined colors.
Say you want the Dark2 qualitative color map with 7 colors. To get it
directly you can do::
from brewer2mpl import qualitative
bmap = qualitative.Dark2[7]
There is also a special key `'max'` for each name that points to the
color map with the most defined colors::
from brewer2mpl import sequential
bmap = sequential.YlGnBu['max']
FAQs
Connect colorbrewer2.org color maps to Python and matplotlib
We found that brewer2mpl demonstrated a healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released less than a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
