DOC Added the colormap references back #9530
Conversation

EDITED: I agree that a shorter description of all colormaps is necessary; I guess the examples is as good a place as any other to put them. It would definitely be useful to add a link from http://matplotlib.org/api/cm_api.html (at the top) to this example. |

+1 on adding to examples, I think it's a more quickly-discoverable place for this kind of info. Also +1 on generally cross-linking as much as possible |

Is it worth adding a section (maybe in another PR?) that lists all colorblind-friendly colormaps?

I'm all for that/think that's a great idea.

I don't think this should be added to this example. This is a reference list. This should be (if it isn't already) in the colormap tutorial.

Why shouldn't a reference list provide accessibility references?

Can this be handled by including a reference here to the tutorial section?

I think so, so long as there's an explicit mention of colorblind maps, something "See the tutorial for a more detailed explanation of colormaps, including information on colorblind friendly"

I would just delete all the text (it's a reference!) and replace it by "for an in-depth overview of colomaps, including discussion about colorblind-friendliness, see (tutorial)".

There is no information on colorblind maps in the tutorial, just outside references.
Feel free to merge or close if you feel this is not an improvement to the documentation.

I didn't write it. This is just the old example (which is by the way still hanging around in the website, from an old build, and links misleading to some old hidden references and documentation). The text and documentation can definitely be improved, but I don't have time to do this. |

I think it's clearly an improvement, if @NelleV doesn't want to make further edits, further fixes can go to a separate PR. |

@meeksdev backport to v2.1.0-doc |
For fast access. The user should not have to go to the tutorials to get the list of available colormaps.
