td_residuals module¶
- td_residuals.shiftedColorMap(cmap, start=0, midpoint=0.5, stop=1.0, name='shiftedcmap')[source]¶
Function to offset the “center” of a colormap. Useful for data with a negative min and positive max and you want the middle of the colormap’s dynamic range to be at zero
- Parameters:
cmap – The matplotlib colormap to be altered
start – Offset from lowest point in the colormap’s range. Defaults to 0.0 (no lower ofset). Should be between 0.0 and midpoint.
midpoint – The new center of the colormap. Defaults to 0.5 (no shift). Should be between 0.0 and 1.0. In general, this should be 1 - vmax/(vmax + abs(vmin)) For example if your data range from -15.0 to +5.0 and you want the center of the colormap at 0.0, midpoint should be set to 1 - 5/(5 + 15)) or 0.75
stop – Offset from highets point in the colormap’s range. Defaults to 1.0 (no upper ofset). Should be between midpoint and 1.0.
