Hi Patrick,

Nice colors for salinity maps. Do you mind attaching the .spk files for those of us who do not have python2.7 and matplotlib installed?

Thanks,

Dongxiao

Hi ferreters,

I have found interesting the work that folks from matplotlib have done
about colormap (palette in the ferret vocabulary).

So attached a small python script to generate spectrum files for ferret (and pyferret).
I have found interesting the colormaps called Perceptually Uniform Sequential.
Perhaps that one of the 'viridis', 'inferno', 'plasma', 'magma' colormap
could be choosen to replace the default rainbow palette of ferret.





Note that matplotlib 1.5.0 is needed to get described colormaps.
See http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/colormaps_reference.html
and https://youtu.be/xAoljeRJ3lU - A Better Default Colormap for Matplotlib

Happy ferreting.

Patrick
