I am using fill to make filled polygons. I want to fill the polygons with colors that reflect data values, similar to what imshow does.
Is there a way to extract the rgb tuples from a Colormap? This could be an array of N tuples, each tuple containing 3 0-1 floats that describe the color or three separate arrays, one each for red, green and blue.
I made the mistake of using some non-public attributes of the class colorMap to accomplish this in a previous version of matplotlib. That was a mistake since Colormap._red_lut, Colormap._green_lut and Colormap._blue_lut no longer exist.
Once I have the array of tuples, I can determine which one I want and create a hex string using rgb2hex to get a color suitable for use with fill.
I need the flexability to make the same plot using several different color maps.

Yes, colormaps are callable so you can call the colormap with either a scalar value or an
array of values and what will be returned is a tuple of rgba values or an array (shape
= 4, nelements). See the docstring on __call__ for LinearSegmentedColormap in colors.py
