And the colormap should be easy to read with color blindness (so the blue/green one is not good), and also look good with various amounts of hue on different screens or print. For instance, printed in b&w. This page has a lot of color maps and how they look in greyscale in the bottom: http://matplotlib.org/1.4.1/users/colormaps.html http://matplotlib.org/1.4.1/users/colormaps.html As can be seen, the "jet" map often used is unreadable, luckily it is no longer default in matlab.
- seszett 11y ago> And the colormap should be easy to read with color blindness (so the blue/green one is not good) Well, blue/green or blue/red are actually the most acceptable scales to use, since most colorblind people only have problems distinguishing red and green, while for most of the others blue is very dark so the scale still works somewhat. The others are a very, very small minority that will already be used to use various tools to enhance their vision. As far as I can see, testing with http://colortest.it/deuteranopia:http://d3-legend.susielu.com/ http://colortest.it/deuteranopia:http://d3-legend.susielu.co... for example, the chosen colorscale is not the worst there is.
