Hello,
I found the following post on matplotlib-users. However, post reading
the 'docstring', I'm still unable to figure it out. I don't know how
to call the __call__ function in LinearSegmentedColormap in colors.py.
Could someone please help me out? All I need is a one-line command
that tells me how to give this beast a number between 0 and 1 and get
an rgb tuple.
Regards,
Dev

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
