I have a set of points I'm using to plot a map using contourf
.
I need to have a specific color pallet for this map, regarding specific data points, and a color to be set on data over the limit.
So, I have levels=[0, 2, 20, 100]
and I'm looking for to have a cmap
like the following one:
cmap=LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list([
(0, color1),
(2, color2),
(20, color3),
(100, color4),
])
cmap.set_over(color5)
Problem is that the points must be normalized, like so:
cmap=LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list([
(0 / max_value, color1),
(2 / max_value, color2),
(20 / max_value, color3),
(100 / max_value, color4),
])
cmap.set_over(color5)
My problem is, my data is variable, so I don't know what my max_value
will be. I just want to "ignore" that the data is over 100, and paint it with color5
.
I know I can manipulate my data beforehand and make everything over 100 to actually BE 100, or to find the max_value
in realtime, but those methods seem hackish to me.
Is there a way to accomplish that using matplotlib
functions?
I ended up normalising my data, between [0,1]
, like that:
def normalizer(lower_bound, upper_bound):
_lower = float(lower_bound)
_upper = float(upper_bound)
def do_norm(x):
return (float(x) - _lower) / (_upper - _lower)
return do_norm
normalize = normalizer(0, 20)
normalize(10) # 0.5
