[Matplotlib-users] Circular colormaps

[Ariel R. <ar...@be...>]

Hi everyone,

I am interested in using a circular colormap, in order to represent a phase
variable, but I don't like 'hsv' (which is circular). In particular, I find
that it induces perceptual distortion, where values in the green/yellow part
of the colormap all look the same. Are there any circular colormaps except
for 'hsv'? If not - how would you go about constructing a new circular
colormap?

Thanks,

Ariel
