jetkiller 1.1.0

Enhance data visualizations using the "jet" colormap.

Jet Killer

Jet Killer converts images using the "jet" colormap to a better one (by default "viridis") by using directly the pixel values, without any knowledge about the underlying data.

It can be used as a tool to enhance data visualizations for which the original dataset is unavailable. Use cases include:

• enhancing figures from sources who made an unfortunate colormap choice,
• enhancing graphs for which the original data may be lost,
• enhancing visualizations without having to regenerate it from the original dataset.
