Viridis type colorscale for Plotly.
Surface, contour plot and heatmap with viridis. Streamlines

Viridis type colorscale definition

viridis = LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list('viridis', cm_data)

Here is a simple image illustrating the future viridis colormap:


In [3]:
plt.imshow(np.linspace(0, 100, 256)[None, :], aspect='auto',  cmap=viridis)


Out[3]:
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f97f6eb92d0>

Now we define from the same data the viridis-type colorscale to be used in generation of surfaces, contour plots and heatmaps in plotly.


In [4]:
viridisCS=[] #plotly colorscale viridis
for k in  range(256):
    r,g,b=cm_data[k]
    viridisCS.append([k/255., '#%02x%02x%02x' %  (int(r*255+0.5), int(g*255+0.5), int(b*255+0.5))])

Contour plot of a Hamiltonian

Define:

  • a function H, as the Hamiltonian of a one degree of freedom system:

In [68]:
H=lambda x,y: 0.5*y**2+x**3/3.0-x
  • and its partial derivatives:

In [69]:
Hx=lambda x,y: x**2-1
Hy=lambda x,y: y

The contour lines, $H(x,y)=cst$, are integral curves of the Hamiltonian system: $$\begin{array}{llr} \dot{x}&=&\frac{\partial H}{\partial y}\\ \dot{y}&=&-\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}\end{array}$$

The Hamiltonian vector field, $X_H=(H_y, -H_x)$, has two equilibria: $(-1,0), (1,0)$. The first one is a saddle, and the second is a center (see Scholarpedia for notions related to Hamiltonian systems).


In [70]:
x=np.arange(-2, 2.3, 1./50)# the step is chosen sucth that to be sure that the  separatrix is plotted
y=np.arange(-2.3, 2.3, 1./50)  
X,Y=np.meshgrid(x,y)
z=H(X,Y)
