colors
=====

Functions that manipulate colors and arrays of colors.

-----
There are three basic types of color types: rgb, hex and tuple:

rgb - An rgb color is a string of the form 'rgb(a,b,c)' where a, b and c are
integers between 0 and 255 inclusive.

hex - A hex color is a string of the form '#xxxxxx' where each x is a
character that belongs to the set [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f]. This is
just the set of characters used in the hexadecimal numeric system.

tuple - A tuple color is a 3-tuple of the form (a,b,c) where a, b and c are
floats between 0 and 1 inclusive.

-----
Colormaps and Colorscales:
A colormap or a colorscale is a correspondence between values - Pythonic
objects such as strings and floats - to colors.

There are typically two main types of colormaps that exist: numerical and
categorical colormaps.

Numerical:
----------
Numerical colormaps are used when the coloring column being used takes a
spectrum of values or numbers.

A classic example from the Plotly library:
```
rainbow_colorscale =  [
    [0, 'rgb(150,0,90)'], [0.125, 'rgb(0,0,200)'],
    [0.25, 'rgb(0,25,255)'], [0.375, 'rgb(0,152,255)'],
    [0.5, 'rgb(44,255,150)'], [0.625, 'rgb(151,255,0)'],
    [0.75, 'rgb(255,234,0)'], [0.875, 'rgb(255,111,0)'],
    [1, 'rgb(255,0,0)']
]
```

Notice that this colorscale is a list of lists with each inner list containing
a number and a color. These left hand numbers in the nested lists go from 0 to
1, and they are like pointers tell you when a number is mapped to a specific
color.

If you have a column of numbers `col_num` that you want to plot, and you know

```
min(col_num) = 0
max(col_num) = 100
```

then if you pull out the number `12.5` in the list and want to figure out what
color the corresponding chart element (bar, scatter plot, etc) is going to be,
you'll figure out that proportionally 12.5 to 100 is the same as 0.125 to 1.
So, the point will be mapped to 'rgb(0,0,200)'.

All other colors between the pinned values in a colorscale are linearly
interpolated.

Categorical:
------------
Alternatively, a categorical colormap is used to assign a specific value in a
color column to a specific color everytime it appears in the dataset.

A column of strings in a panadas.dataframe that is chosen to serve as the
color index would naturally use a categorical colormap. However, you can
choose to use a categorical colormap with a column of numbers.

Be careful! If you have a lot of unique numbers in your color column you will
end up with a colormap that is massive and may slow down graphing performance.
