"""
A module for converting numbers or color arguments to *RGB* or *RGBA*

*RGB* and *RGBA* are sequences of, respectively, 3 or 4 floats in the
range 0-1.

This module includes functions and classes for color specification
conversions, and for mapping numbers to colors in a 1-D array of
colors called a colormap. Colormapping typically involves two steps:
a data array is first mapped onto the range 0-1 using an instance
of :class:`Normalize` or of a subclass; then this number in the 0-1
range is mapped to a color using an instance of a subclass of
:class:`Colormap`.  Two are provided here:
:class:`LinearSegmentedColormap`, which is used to generate all
the built-in colormap instances, but is also useful for making
custom colormaps, and :class:`ListedColormap`, which is used for
generating a custom colormap from a list of color specifications.

The module also provides a single instance, *colorConverter*, of the
:class:`ColorConverter` class providing methods for converting single
color specifications or sequences of them to *RGB* or *RGBA*.

Commands which take color arguments can use several formats to specify
the colors.  For the basic builtin colors, you can use a single letter

    - b  : blue
    - g  : green
    - r  : red
    - c  : cyan
    - m  : magenta
    - y  : yellow
    - k  : black
    - w  : white

Gray shades can be given as a string encoding a float in the 0-1
range, e.g.::

    color = '0.75'

For a greater range of colors, you have two options.  You can specify
the color using an html hex string, as in::

      color = '#eeefff'

or you can pass an *R* , *G* , *B* tuple, where each of *R* , *G* , *B*
are in the range [0,1].

Finally, legal html names for colors, like 'red', 'burlywood' and
'chartreuse' are supported.
