Did you check values in palette?
With
palette /= 255
you're setting the value in place. Because the palette.dtype is int,
the result is also an integer array, i.e., only with with zeros and
ones.
You may do
palette = [reds,greens,blues]
palette = numpy.array(palette, dtype="d")

As you can see from the error, the dimension of your input is wrong
(it needs to be transposed).
Furthermore, matplotlib expects the rgb values in 0-1.replace
colormap = matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(palette,'custom-orange')
with
colormap =
matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(palette.T/255.,'custom-orange')Regards,

Thanks much for this JJ !
I have a follow-up question.
The attached script is a slight modification of the one originally posted.
The attached PNG files are the outputs from the attached script.
Prior to my original post, I had actually tried something "similar" to your
solution -- namely:palette = [reds,greens,blues]
palette = palette.transpose()
palette /= 255.0
colormap = matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(palette,'custom-orange-jv')I do not know why the 2 PNG files are so different in appearance (and size).
I would appreciate some help understanding this.
Thanks,

As seen in the attached script, the orange-JJ.png is the result of using
your (i.e., JJ's) solution.On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 11:13 AM, Jim Vickroy <Jim.Vickroy@...259...> >> wrote:
Hello,
The attached script shows my (failed) attempt to define a custom color
map
from a set of RGB values (taken from an IDL palette).My approach is presumably completely wrong, but I have not found
information
or examples on how to do this.Could someone point in the right direction?
Thanks,
