        About
        -----
        
        This is a small package to easily generate colormaps from images which was
        built as a fun hack and should *not* be used to generate colormaps for
        serious visualization work since there is no guarantee that the colormaps
        made will be e.g. perceptually uniform.
        
        Installing
        ----------
        
        To install::
        
            pip install colormapize
        
        Using
        -----
        
        To use, run::
        
            colormapize your_image.jpg colormap_name
        
        where ``colormap_name`` is what you want to call your colormap, for example::
        
            colormapize your_image.jpg kittens
        
        This should open a Matplotlib window. Click once to define the start of a path
        and click again to define the end of the path. You can then use the + and - keys
        to add more samples along the path. If you are not happy with the path, just
        click twice again to define a new path. Once you are happy with it, press
        'enter' or 'c' and you will see a preview of the colormap on the right of the
        image, and the colormap will also be saved to e.g.``cmap_kittens.py``. You can
        continue to redefine the path until you are happy with it, and the file will be
        overwritten every time you press 'enter' or 'c'. Close the window once you are
        done.
        
        To use, make sure the colormap file (e.g. ``cmap_kittens.py``) is in the same
        directory as the directory where you want to make plots, and you can then use it
        as follows in other scripts::
        
            import colormap_kittens
        
            ...
        
            plt.imshow(mydata, cmap='kittens')
