sqlite-colorbrewer

A custom function to use ColorBrewer scales in SQLite queries.

Colors are exported from here.

Installation

To install as a Python library and use with the standard SQLite3 module:

pip install sqlite-colorbrewer

To install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install sqlite-colorbrewer

Usage

If you're using this library with Datasette, it will be automatically registered as a plugin and available for use in SQL queries, like so:

SELECT colorbrewer('Blues', 9, 0);

That will return a single value: "rgb(247,251,255)"

To use with a SQLite connection outside of Datasette, use the register function:

>>> import sqlite3
>>> import sqlite_colorbrewer

>>> conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory')
>>> sqlite_colorbrewer.register(conn)

>>> cursor = conn.execute("SELECT colorbrewer('Blues', 9, 0);")
>>> result = next(cursor)
>>> print(result)
rgb(247,251,255)

Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd sqlite-colorbrewer
python3 -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using pipenv:

pipenv shell

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest

To build sqlite_colorbrewer/colorbrewer.py:

./json_to_python.py
black . # to format the resulting file
