ragraph.colors.cubehelix.cubehelix_palette(n_colors: int, start: float = 2.25, end: float = 3.45, dark: float = 0.2, light: float = 0.85, gamma: float = 1.0, saturation: float = 1.2, rotations: Optional[float] = None, categorical: bool = False) → List[str]#

Calculate a cubehelix color palette as a list of hex codes.

Parameters:

  • n_colors – Number of RGB colour pairs to generate.

  • start – Starting color (Red: 1.0, Green: 2.0, Blue: 3.0).

  • end – Final color (Red: 1.0, Green: 2.0, Blue: 3.0).

  • dark – Lightness of the darkest value [0.0 - 1.0].

  • light – Lightness of the lightest value [0.0 - 1.0].

  • gamma – Exponential factor applied to lightness to emphasize low intensity values (< 1.0) or high intensity values (> 1.0).

  • rotations – Number of RGB rotations (1.0 means a full RGB rotation). Overrides end. Otherwise calculated as (end - start) / 3.

  • categorical – Whether to shuffle the rotational space optimally for categorical color palettes. Similar colors are positioned as far apart as possible.

Returns:

Color palette as a list of hex codes.
