Matplotlib colormaps from the yt project !

## Colormaps overview

The following colormaps, as well as their respective reversed (`*_r`) versions are available

### Perceptually uniform sequential colormaps

## Installation

with `pip`
```shell
python -m pip install cmyt
```
or with `conda`
```shell
conda install -c conda-forge cmyt
```

## Usage
cmyt integrates with matplotlib in a similar fashion to
[cmocean](https://matplotlib.org/cmocean/) or
[cmasher](https://cmasher.readthedocs.io)
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import cmyt  # that's it !

# generate example data
prng = np.random.RandomState(0x4D3D3D3)
noise = prng.random_sample((100, 100))
x, y = np.mgrid[-50:50, -50:50]
z = 5 * np.exp(-(x**2 + y**2) / 1000)

# setup the figure
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set(aspect="equal")

# now we can refer to cmyt colormaps as strings
im = ax.pcolormesh(x, y, z + noise, cmap="cmyt.arbre", shading="flat")
fig.colorbar(im, ax=ax)
```
<p align="center">
    <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yt-project/cmyt/main/doc/demo.png" width="400"></a>
</p>

```python
# alternatively, cmyt maps can also be imported as objects
from cmyt import pastel

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set(aspect="equal")
im = ax.contourf(x, y, z + noise, cmap=pastel)
fig.colorbar(im, ax=ax)
```

A gallery of comparable examples using all colormaps from cmyt is available [in the test directory](https://github.com/yt-project/cmyt/tree/main/tests/baseline).
