ofxColorMap

Colorize your grayscale images with a linear segmented color map, as used in scientific plotting. Maps are taken from Matplotlib.

Usage

• Add an ofxColorMap object to your app.

• Select a colormap

  • Use a preset colormap. See list of preset maps below.

    colormap.setMapFromName("summer")
    

  • Alternatively, make your own color map. See matplotlib documentation for an explanation of the parameters.

    ofxColorMap::ColorMapChannel r ; r .push_back(ofVec3f( 0.0,0.0,0.0 )); r .push_back(ofVec3f( 1.0,1.0,1.0 ));
    ofxColorMap::ColorMapChannel g ; g .push_back(ofVec3f( 0.0,0.5,0.5 )); g .push_back(ofVec3f( 1.0,1.0,1.0 ));
    ofxColorMap::ColorMapChannel b ; b .push_back(ofVec3f( 0.0,0.4,0.4 )); b .push_back(ofVec3f( 1.0,0.4,0.4 ));
    ofxColorMap::ColorMap m; m.push_back(r); m.push_back(g); m.push_back(b);
    colormap.set(m);
    

• Convert a grayscale ofImage (of type OF_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE) to a color image (allocated to same size with type OF_IMAGE_COLOR).

  colormap.apply(inputImage, outputImage);
