We provide some simple scripts that generate colormap for Xmgrace. Just copy paste the output in your grace file. Results can be viewed here.

grayscale colormap

<source lang="py">

  1. !/usr/bin/python

print "@map color 0 to (255, 255, 255), \"white\"" print "@map color 1 to (0, 0, 0), \"black\"" def LinearGray(num):

   N=int(255/num)
   for i in range(1,num):
       n = str(N*i)
       print "@map color "+str(i+1)+" to ("+n+','+n+','+n+"), \"gray"+str(i)+"\""

LinearGray(12) </source>

HSV colormap

Use RGB to HSV and reciprocal conversion. Gradients are much easier to derive in HSV format. One can use 'sin' functions instead of linear ones.

  1. !/usr/bin/python

print "@map color 0 to (255, 255, 255), \"white\"" print "@map color 1 to (0, 0, 0), \"black\""

   if not C==0:

   H = Hp*60
   V = M
   S = C/V
   return (H,S,V)

   (R,G,B) = (R1+m,G1+m,B1+m)
   return (int(255*R),int(255*G),int(255*B))

rgbred, rgbgreen, rgbblue = (255,0,0), (0,255,0), (0,0,255) hsvred, hsvgreen, hsvblue = RGBtoHSV(rgbred), RGBtoHSV(rgbgreen), RGBtoHSV(rgbblue)

HSVGradient(hsvred,hsvblue,11)

  1. HSVGradient((0.0,1.0,1.0),(240.0,1.0,1.0),24)
