LookupTable.apply_cmap

LookupTable.apply_cmap(cmap: ColormapOptions, n_values: int = 256, flip: bool = False)

Assign a colormap to this lookup table.

This can be used instead of LookupTable.cmap when you need to set the number of values at the same time as the color map.

Parameters:

cmapstr, list, matplotlib.colors.Colormap

Colormap from Matplotlib, colorcet, or cmocean.

n_valuesint, default: 256

Number of colors in the color map.

flipbool, default: False

Flip direction of cmap. Most colormaps allow *_r suffix to do this as well.
