Support Mathematica colormaps

[paulmasson]

Data for Mathemtica colormaps can be extracted numerically using

InputForm /@ ColorData["CherryTones"] /@ Range[0, 1, .1]

Initially supported schemes should include SunsetColors, WatermelonColors, Rainbow, TemperatureMap, LightTemperatureMap, DarkRainbow, RustTones and the default M10DefaultDensityGradient.

This approach has been used in at least one open source project. Color data of this sort is available here.

If would be preferable to have a mathematical statement of the colormap as is true for most of the maps in matplotlib. @axkr are you aware of any open source project that replicates the Mathematica colormaps with expressions of this sort, or do they all sample the data numerically?

@paulmasson No I'm not aware of any project.

Similar project like mathcell, but can't find colormaps:

• https://github.com/JerryI/Mathematica-ThreeJS-graphics-engine

@axkr added seven Mathematica colormaps in 1126d96. That covers most of what you wanted and can be extended later. First want to write up the method.
