Creating custom colormaps
-------------------------
=========================
It is also possible to create a custom mapping for a colormap. This is
accomplished by creating dictionary that specifies how the RGB channels
change from one end of the cmap to the other.

half, green to do the same over the middle half, and blue over the top
half. Then you would use::

cdict = {'red': ((0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(0.5, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)),

'red': (
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),

),
'green': (
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),

If, as in this example, there are no discontinuities in the r, g, and b
components, then it is quite simple: the second and third element of
each tuple, above, is the same--call it "y". The first element ("x")
each tuple, above, is the same--call it "``y``". The first element ("``x``")
defines interpolation intervals over the full range of 0 to 1, and it
must span that whole range. In other words, the values of x divide the
0-to-1 range into a set of segments, and y gives the end-point color
must span that whole range. In other words, the values of ``x`` divide the
0-to-1 range into a set of segments, and ``y`` gives the end-point color
values for each segment.

Now consider the green. cdict['green'] is saying that for
0 <= x <= 0.25, y is zero; no green.
0.25 < x <= 0.75, y varies linearly from 0 to 1.
x > 0.75, y remains at 1, full green.

If there are discontinuities, then it is a little more complicated.
Label the 3 elements in each row in the cdict entry for a given color as
(x, y0, y1). Then for values of x between x[i] and x[i+1] the color
value is interpolated between y1[i] and y0[i+1].

Going back to the cookbook example, look at cdict['red']; because y0 !=
y1, it is saying that for x from 0 to 0.5, red increases from 0 to 1,
but then it jumps down, so that for x from 0.5 to 1, red increases from
0.7 to 1. Green ramps from 0 to 1 as x goes from 0 to 0.5, then jumps
back to 0, and ramps back to 1 as x goes from 0.5 to 1.::
Now consider the green, ``cdict['green']`` is saying that for:

- 0 <= ``x`` <= 0.25, ``y`` is zero; no green.
- 0.25 < ``x`` <= 0.75, ``y`` varies linearly from 0 to 1.
- 0.75 < ``x`` <= 1, ``y`` remains at 1, full green.

If there are discontinuities, then it is a little more complicated. Label the 3
elements in each row in the ``cdict`` entry for a given color as ``(x, y0,
y1)``. Then for values of ``x`` between ``x[i]`` and ``x[i+1]`` the color value
is interpolated between ``y1[i]`` and ``y0[i+1]``.

Going back to a cookbook example::

cdict = {
'red': (
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(0.5, 1.0, 0.7),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
),
'green': (
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(0.5, 1.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
),
'blue': (
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(0.5, 0.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
)
}

and look at ``cdict['red'][1]``; because ``y0 != y1``, it is saying that for
``x`` from 0 to 0.5, red increases from 0 to 1, but then it jumps down, so that
for ``x`` from 0.5 to 1, red increases from 0.7 to 1. Green ramps from 0 to 1
as ``x`` goes from 0 to 0.5, then jumps back to 0, and ramps back to 1 as ``x``
goes from 0.5 to 1. ::

row i: x y0 y1
/
/
/
row i+1: x y0 y1

Above is an attempt to show that for x in the range x[i] to x[i+1], the
interpolation is between y1[i] and y0[i+1]. So, y0[0] and y1[-1] are
never used.
