不幸的是,matplotlib没有提供Matlab的demcmap的功能。
实际上,python basemap包中可能有一些内置特性,我不知道这些特性。在
所以,坚持matplotlib板上的选项,我们可以子类^{}来构建一个以colormap中间的点为中心的颜色规范化。此技术可以在StackOverflow上的another question中找到,并根据具体需要进行调整,即设置sealevel(可能最好选择为0)和颜色映射col_val(范围在0和1之间)中的值,该值应与该sealevel对应。在地形图的情况下,0.22,对应于一个turqoise颜色,可能是一个不错的选择。
然后可以将Normalize实例作为imshow的参数。在图片的第一行下面可以看到结果图。在
由于海平面周围的平滑过渡,0周围的值显示为杂色,因此很难区分陆地和海洋。
因此,我们可以稍微改变一下地形图,去掉那些颜色,这样海岸线就更清晰可见了。这是通过地图的combining two parts来完成的,范围从0到0.17,从0.25到1,并因此切断了它的一部分。在import numpy as np
