I've been playing around with learning Javascript lately. As part of the
process, I created a Flask app to build a gallery for matplotlib style
sheets:
https://github.com/tonysyu/matplotlib-style-gallery
If you run that locally, you can actually input styles, either with a URL
to a *.mplstyle file or with matplotlibrc commands. Here's a static version
without the custom inputs:
http://tonysyu.github.io/raw_content/matplotlib-style-gallery/gallery.html
Ideally, I'd get this into a form that could be submitted as a PR for the
matplotlib website, but I'll need a bit more spare time to learn some more
web development (sessions, client storage, etc).
Cheers!

Happy new year everyone!
Apologies for the long silence. I was snowed in with work before Christmas
and then mostly cut off from the internet for the past two weeks.
Fortunately, I had a chance over the holidays to flesh out the GUI which I
mentioned in my previous email. You can find it here:
 https://github.com/maxalbert/colormap-selector
Basically, it allows you to pick the start/end color of a colormap from two
cross sections in CIELab space and interpolates those colors linearly (see
the README file for more details). Currently there is one scatterplot to
illustrate the resulting colormap but it can be trivially extended to show
more interesting sample plots. There are still a few things missing that
I'd like to add but at least it's in a state where it can be used and I'd
be grateful for feedback, especially with regard to the colormaps generated
with it (I do have some opinions myself but it would be interesting to hear
others' first).
Regarding our ongoing discussion, I had a very useful chat with two
colleagues before Christmas which spurred more thoughts. But I guess it's
best to discuss them in a separate email when I'm less tired. ;)
Best wishes,
Max
