seaborn.choose_cubehelix_palette¶

seaborn.choose_cubehelix_palette(as_cmap=False)¶

Launch an interactive widget to create a sequential cubehelix palette.

This corresponds with the cubehelix_palette() function. This kind of palette is good for data that range between relatively uninteresting low values and interesting high values. The cubehelix system allows the palette to have more hue variance across the range, which can be helpful for distinguishing a wider range of values.

Requires IPython 2+ and must be used in the notebook.

Parameters

as_cmapbool

If True, the return value is a matplotlib colormap rather than a list of discrete colors.

Returns

pal or cmaplist of colors or matplotlib colormap

Object that can be passed to plotting functions.
