What names can be used in plt.cm.get_cmap?

Question

I have this code :

plt.scatter(data_projected[:,0],data_projected[:,1],c=digits.target
        ,edgecolors=\'none\',alpha=0.5,cmap=plt.cm.get_cmap(\'nipy_spectra         


        

Answer 1

The first argument to plt.cm.get_cmap('nipy_spectral',10) is the name of a colormap. You can get a list of all available colormaps via

import matplotlib.cm
print(matplotlib.cm.cmap_d.keys())

or you may have a look at the colormap reference.
