FAQ

I get a linter warning / My formatter removes import tableau_colormap

Since the imported tableau_colormap is not explicitly used, it's mistakenly identified as an unnecessary import. You can prevent it from being flagged as unused by explicitly calling tableau_colormap.set_colormap() as shown below. Although this execution is functionally meaningless (no-op), run it immediately after the import, or wherever necessary.

import tableau_colormap

tableau_colormap.set_colormap()
