matplotlib.colors.Normalize

class matplotlib.colors.Normalize(vmin=None, vmax=None, clip=False) [source]

Bases: object

A class which, when called, can normalize data into the [0.0, 1.0] interval.

If vmin or vmax is not given, they are initialized from the minimum and maximum value respectively of the first input processed. That is, __call__(A) calls autoscale_None(A). If clip is True and the given value falls outside the range, the returned value will be 0 or 1, whichever is closer. Returns 0 if

vmin==vmax

Works with scalars or arrays, including masked arrays. If clip is True, masked values are set to 1; otherwise they remain masked. Clipping silently defeats the purpose of setting the over, under, and masked colors in the colormap, so it is likely to lead to surprises; therefore the default is clip = False.

autoscale(self, A) [source]

Set vmin, vmax to min, max of A.

autoscale_None(self, A) [source]

Autoscale only None-valued vmin or vmax.

inverse(self, value) [source]
static process_value(value) [source]

Homogenize the input value for easy and efficient normalization.

value can be a scalar or sequence.

Returns result, is_scalar, where result is a masked array matching value. Float dtypes are preserved; integer types with two bytes or smaller are converted to np.float32, and larger types are converted to np.float64. Preserving float32 when possible, and using in-place operations, can greatly improve speed for large arrays.

Experimental; we may want to add an option to force the use of float32.

scaled(self) [source]

Return whether vmin and vmax are set.
