matplotlib.pyplot.get_cmap¶

matplotlib.pyplot.get_cmap(name=None, lut=None)¶

Get a colormap instance, defaulting to rc values if name is None.

Colormaps added with register_cmap() take precedence over built-in colormaps.

If name is a matplotlib.colors.Colormap instance, it will be returned.

If lut is not None it must be an integer giving the number of entries desired in the lookup table, and name must be a standard mpl colormap name.
