Description: Python package colorscale
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        This package was written to facilitate working with 'false color'. Many
        scientific fields work with image files to visualize two-dimensional
        scalar data. The raw data can then be represented as a grayscale image.
        For different reasons, representing these data in false color can be
        useful. **This package helps to convert grayscale images to 'false
        color'.** On the other hand, quite often it is desirable to have access
        to the original values of a false color plot. If the color scale (or
        'color map') is known and it is bijective (a reversible one to one
        mapping), the original gray scale image can be recovered from the false
        color image using this tool, too.
        
        Installation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            pip install colorscale
        
        Usage
        ~~~~~
        
        After installing, two command line tools will be available:
        
        -  ``to_color_scale`` and
        -  ``to_gray_scale``.
        
        Start them with the ``--help`` flag to learn how to use them:
        
        ::
        
            $ to_color_scale --help
            usage: to_color_scale [-h] -s {tillscale} [-b {pil,cv2}] IMAGEFILE
        
            Convert an image saved as false color to grayscale
        
            positional arguments:
              IMAGEFILE             The image to convert
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -s {tillscale}, --colorscale {tillscale}
                                    Desired color scale
              -b {pil,cv2}, --backend {pil,cv2}
        
        and
        
        ::
        
            $ to_gray_scale --help
            usage: to_gray_scale [-h] -s COLORSCALE IMAGEFILE
        
            Convert an image saved as false color to grayscale
        
            positional arguments:
              IMAGEFILE             The image to convert
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -s COLORSCALE, --colorscale COLORSCALE {tillscale}
                                    Desired color scale
