Hi,
I'm trying to modify the imshow colormapping on the flight:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html?highlight=linearsegmentedcolormap#matplotlib.colors.Normalize
"Colormapping typically involves two steps: a data array is first mapped onto the range 0-1 using an instance of Normalize <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html?highlight=linearsegmentedcolormap#matplotlib.colors.Normalize> or of a subclass; then this number in the 0-1 range is mapped to a color using an instance of a subclass of Colormap <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html?highlight=linearsegmentedcolormap#matplotlib.colors.Colormap>"
How should I modify the way "data array is first mapped onto the range 0-1"?
I would like to map all the values <T1 to 0, all the values>T1 to 1 and use an affine function to map all the others values into ]0,1[. In a more generic way, how should I modify the way the normalization step is <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html?highlight=linearsegmentedcolormap#matplotlib.colors.Normalize> performed?
I could modify the values to be displayed but it is ugly.
It is easy to modify the values of the second step of Colormapping:
from pylab import *
from numpy import *
def G(i,j):
return exp(-((i-100)**2+(j-100)**2)/50.)
def cmap_xmap(function,cmapInput):
cdict = cmapInput._segmentdata.copy()
function_to_map = lambda x : (function(x[0]), x[1], x[2])
for key in ('red','green','blue'):
cdict[key] = map(function_to_map, cdict[key])
cdict[key].sort()
return matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap('MyMap',cdict,1024)
A=fromfunction(G,(200,200))
imshow(A,cmap=cmap_xmap(lambda x:x**60,get_cmap("hot")))
but it does no help.

Functions and methods that take cmap kwargs also take norm kwargs; they work together. The Normalize subclass instance passed in via the norm kwarg is what does the mapping of the original data to the 0-1 range. For examples, see lib/matplotlib/colors.py, which has the Normalize base class and the LogNorm, BoundaryNorm, and NoNorm subclasses.

Ok. So I just create class MyNorm(matplotlib.colors.Normalize) and call imshow(A,cmap=cmap_xmap(lambda x:x,get_cmap("hot")),norm=MyNorm)
That looks easy 
Thanks.
