Basic Examples (2) 

Evaluate the viridis color map for a value of 0.8:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Use the viridis color map for a density plot:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Scope (4) 

List the available color schemes:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Get a color scheme by name and use it:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Get a reversed color scheme by name and use it:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

ViridisColor supports a family of all related color maps, with viridis as the default:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Applications (2) 

Use the viridis color scheme in Plot3D:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Color an image with the viridis color scheme:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

Properties and Relations (4) 

ViridisColor clamps the input to a region of zero to one:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

ViridisColor can be used with a range specification:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

ViridisColor can be used with a range and color specification:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Converted to grayscale, all color maps yield a dark to light gradient:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Possible Issues (1) 

ViridisColor clamps values and thus needs ColorFunctionScaling to be True to use the whole value range:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

Neat Examples (1) 

All color maps and especially cividis are colorblind friendly:

In[14]:=
