Introduction to ColorSchemes

This package provides tools for working with colorschemes and colormaps. As well as providing many pre-made colormaps and schemes, this package allows you to extract colorschemes from images and use them in other graphics programs.

The package is designed for general purpose and informal graphics work. For high quality color maps that have consistent perceptual contrast over their full range, refer to Peter Kovesi's PerceptualColourMaps package.

This package relies on the Colors.jl package and Images.jl.

Current status

ColorSchemes requires Julia version 0.6, and makes use of the Images.jl and Clustering.jl packages.
