For this reason, it is possible to create new RGB colorbars easily in CSV format. Interpolation is performed in RGB space on the input CSV file, to compress or expand the input color arrays to the space available in the IDL colortable. The number of rows must be at least two, but is otherwise unrestricted. RGB values can range either from 0-1 or 0-256 (the package assumes that CSV files with any entries larger than 1 are scaled from 0-256). This is as easy as adding a new 3 column CSV file of RGB values to the IDL_rgb_values/ directory, following the naming convention already present in the directory. You can use the /reverse keyword as well to swap the order of the colortable. This will put the Matplotlib option B color RGB values into the rgb_table array. To load a table from the supplied colortable, point loadct at the location of the table file:

/reverse, which loads the color table in reverse order (especially useful for colorbrewer monotonic schemes).To disable loading these qualitative colors, use the /noqual keyword, but beware! this may mean you cannot access black or white. If qualcolors is on your IDL !PATH, you can refer to these colors with named elements of the qualcolors structure referring to the appropriate color indices (eg, color=qualcolors.blue). Loadcv no argument, displays a list of options and asks the user to select by numberīy default, a set of qualitative colors is loaded along with the specified quantitative colormap, comprising eight colorbrewer colors ( ) and 5 intervals of gray from black to white. To improve interaction with loadcsvcolorbar, I recommend adding qualcolors to your IDL startup script. All of the routines should compile on demand and find the files and directories they need automatically. To install, clone the entire repository onto your machine and add it to your IDL !PATH variable. This allows IDL to have access to a decent colorbar and a set of good qualitative colors simultaneously, which is surprisingly difficult in vanilla IDL. These colors are taken from a colorbrewer qualitative scheme ( ), supplemented with some unsaturated grays.

By contrast, the new colorbars are perceptually uniform, colorblind friendly, and print correctly in black and white.Īlso included is a series of routines to read in RGB colorbars from CSV files and load them into the current colortable, along with a series of qualitative colors. Aside from the monochromatic and colorbrewer color bars, almost all IDL colorbars suffer from extreme deficiencies in perceptual uniformity and colorblind friendliness. png files located in the IDL_py_png directory, which apply the python-based sequential colormap analysis tools to the IDL builtin maps. These colorbars are better than most of the builtin IDL default colorbars.

Included is a new IDL colortable file with the new Matplotlib perceptual colorbars, as designed by Stéfan van der Walt and Nathaniel Smith ( ).

These slides are also included as a PDF file in this repository. To learn more about why to use perceptually uniform color maps, as opposed to the more typical rainbow color map ubiquitous in science, look at these slides I made, as well as the embedded references. This repository is designed to get decent colormaps into IDL.
