NMFS color palettes handling library

nmfspalettepy

nmfspalettepy is a Python library designed to facilitate the use of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) color palettes for data visualization. It provides easy access to a series of NMFS color schemes.

Source Code:

• view on Github
  • https://github.com/MichaelAkridge-NOAA/NOAA-NMFS-Brand-Resources/tree/nmfspalettepy

Features

• Provides a set of predefined color palettes using the NMFS color palettes.
• Functions to display and utilize these palettes in visualizations.
• Easy integration with matplotlib for creating custom color maps.

Installation

To Install via pip

To install nmfspalettepy, you can use pip. Simply run the following command:

pip install nmfspalettepy

Usage

Listing Available Color Palettes

To see a list of all available color palettes you can use with nmfspalettepy, simply call the list_nmfs_palettes function:

import nmfspalettepy
print(nmfspalettepy.list_nmfs_palettes())

output

['oceans', 'waves', 'seagrass', 'urchin', 'crustacean', 'coral']

Display a Color Gradient

To display a color gradient using one of the available NMFS color palettes, you can use the display_color_gradient function. Here's an example using the "oceans" palette:

from nmfspalettepy import display_color_gradient, get_palette_colors

# Display the 'oceans' palette gradient
display_color_gradient(get_palette_colors("oceans"))

Creating a Custom Color Map

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from nmfspalettepy import create_nmfs_colormap

# Create a custom colormap
cmap = create_nmfs_colormap("coral")

# Use the colormap in a plot
plt.imshow([[1,2],[2,3]], cmap=cmap)
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()

Getting Hex Codes for a Palette

from nmfspalettepy import get_palette_colors

# Get hex codes for the 'waves' palette
colors_hex = get_palette_colors("waves")
print("Hex codes for 'waves':", colors_hex)

output

Hex codes for 'waves': ['#005E5E', '#00797F', '#1EBEC7', '#90DFE3']

Examples

Plot

# example data| import seaborn as sns
from plotnine.data import penguins
p = (
    ggplot(penguins_clean, aes(x='flipper_length_mm', y='body_mass_g', color='species')) +
    geom_point(size=4) +
    labs(y="Body Mass (g)", x="Flipper Length (mm)") +
    theme_bw() +
    scale_color_manual(values=nmfs_palettes["urchin"])  # Use 'urchin' palette
)

# Show the plot
p.show()

Boxplot

def show_boxplot(data, x_var, y_var, hue_var, palette_name):
    palette = nmfs_palettes.get(palette_name, ["#555555"])  # Default grey if not found
    plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
    sns.boxplot(x=x_var, y=y_var, hue=hue_var, palette=palette, data=data)
    sns.despine(offset=10, trim=True)
    plt.show()

LinePlot

def show_lineplot(data, x_var, y_var, hue_var, palette_name):
    palette = nmfs_palettes.get(palette_name, ["#555555"])  # Default grey if not found
    plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
    sns.lineplot(x=x_var, y=y_var, hue=hue_var, palette=palette, data=data)
    plt.title(f"{y_var.capitalize()} over {x_var.capitalize()} by {hue_var.capitalize()}")
    plt.grid(True)
    sns.despine(offset=10, trim=True)
    plt.show()
