8.28 palette

Asymptote can also generate color density images and palettes. The following palettes are predefined in palette.asy:

pen[] Grayscale(int NColors=256)

a grayscale palette;

pen[] Rainbow(int NColors=32766)

a rainbow spectrum;

pen[] BWRainbow(int NColors=32761)

a rainbow spectrum tapering off to black/white at the ends;

pen[] BWRainbow2(int NColors=32761)

a double rainbow palette tapering off to black/white at the ends, with a linearly scaled intensity.

pen[] Wheel(int NColors=32766)

a full color wheel palette;

pen[] Gradient(int NColors=256 ... pen[] p)

a palette varying linearly over the specified array of pens, using NColors in each interpolation interval;

The function cmyk(pen[] Palette) may be used to convert any of these palettes to the CMYK colorspace.

A color density plot using palette palette can be generated from a function f(x,y) and added to a picture pic:

bounds image(picture pic=currentpicture, real f(real, real),
             range range=Full, pair initial, pair final,
             int nx=ngraph, int ny=nx, pen[] palette, bool antialias=false)

The function f will be sampled at nx and ny evenly spaced points over a rectangle defined by the points initial and final, respecting the current graphical scaling of pic. The color space is scaled according to the z axis scaling (see automatic scaling). A bounds structure for the function values is returned:

struct bounds {
  real min;
  real max;
  // Possible tick intervals:
  int[] divisor;
}

This information can be used for generating an optional palette bar. The palette color space corresponds to a range of values specified by the argument range, which can be Full, Automatic, or an explicit range Range(real min, real max). Here Full specifies a range varying from the minimum to maximum values of the function over the sampling interval, while Automatic selects "nice" limits. The example imagecontour.asy illustrates how level sets (contour lines) can be drawn on a color density plot (see section contour).

A color density plot can also be generated from an explicit real[][] array data:

bounds image(picture pic=currentpicture, real[][] f, range range=Full,
             pair initial, pair final, pen[] palette,
             bool transpose=(initial.x < final.x && initial.y < final.y),
             bool copy=true, bool antialias=false);

If the initial point is to the left and below the final point, by default the array indices are interpreted according to the Cartesian convention (first index: x, second index: y) rather than the usual matrix convention (first index: -y, second index: x).

To construct an image from an array of irregularly spaced points and an array of values f at these points, use one of the routines

bounds image(picture pic=currentpicture, pair[] z, real[] f,
             range range=Full, pen[] palette)
bounds image(picture pic=currentpicture, real[] x, real[] y, real[] f,
             range range=Full, pen[] palette)

An optionally labelled palette bar may be generated with the routine

void palette(picture pic=currentpicture, Label L="", bounds bounds,
             pair initial, pair final, axis axis=Right, pen[] palette,
             pen p=currentpen, paletteticks ticks=PaletteTicks,
             bool copy=true, bool antialias=false);

The color space of palette is taken to be over bounds bounds with scaling given by the z scaling of pic. The palette orientation is specified by axis, which may be one of Right, Left, Top, or Bottom. The bar is drawn over the rectangle from initial to final. The argument paletteticks is a special tick type (see ticks) that takes the following arguments:

paletteticks PaletteTicks(Label format="", ticklabel ticklabel=null,
                          bool beginlabel=true, bool endlabel=true,
                          int N=0, int n=0, real Step=0, real step=0,
                          pen pTick=nullpen, pen ptick=nullpen);

The image and palette bar can be fit to a frame and added and optionally aligned to a picture at the desired location:

size(12cm,12cm);

import graph;
import palette;

int n=256;
real ninv=2pi/n;
real[][] v=new real[n][n];

for(int i=0; i < n; ++i)
  for(int j=0; j < n; ++j)
    v[i][j]=sin(i*ninv)*cos(j*ninv);

pen[] Palette=BWRainbow();

picture bar;

bounds range=image(v,(0,0),(1,1),Palette);
palette(bar,"$A$",range,(0,0),(0.5cm,8cm),Right,Palette,
        PaletteTicks("$%+#.1f$"));
add(bar.fit(),point(E),30E);

image

Here is an example that uses logarithmic scaling of the function values:

import graph;
import palette;

size(10cm,10cm,IgnoreAspect);

real f(real x, real y) {
  return 0.9*pow10(2*sin(x/5+2*y^0.25)) + 0.1*(1+cos(10*log(y)));
}

scale(Linear,Log,Log);

pen[] Palette=BWRainbow();

bounds range=image(f,Automatic,(0,1),(100,100),nx=200,Palette);

xaxis("$x$",BottomTop,LeftTicks,above=true);
yaxis("$y$",LeftRight,RightTicks,above=true);

palette("$f(x,y)$",range,(0,200),(100,250),Top,Palette,
        PaletteTicks(ptick=linewidth(0.5*linewidth())));



logimage

One can also draw an image directly from a two-dimensional pen array or a function pen f(int, int):

void image(picture pic=currentpicture, pen[][] data,
           pair initial, pair final,
           bool transpose=(initial.x < final.x && initial.y < final.y),
           bool copy=true, bool antialias=false);
void image(picture pic=currentpicture, pen f(int, int), int width, int height,
           pair initial, pair final,
           bool transpose=(initial.x < final.x && initial.y < final.y),
           bool antialias=false);

as illustrated in the following examples:

size(200);

import palette;

int n=256;
real ninv=2pi/n;
pen[][] v=new pen[n][n];

for(int i=0; i < n; ++i)
  for(int j=0; j < n; ++j)
    v[i][j]=rgb(0.5*(1+sin(i*ninv)),0.5*(1+cos(j*ninv)),0);

image(v,(0,0),(1,1));


penimage

import palette;

size(200);

real fracpart(real x) {return (x-floor(x));}

pair pws(pair z) {
  pair w=(z+exp(pi*I/5)/0.9)/(1+z/0.9*exp(-pi*I/5));
  return exp(w)*(w^3-0.5*I);
}

int N=512;

pair a=(-1,-1);
pair b=(0.5,0.5);
real dx=(b-a).x/N;
real dy=(b-a).y/N;

pen f(int u, int v) {
  pair z=a+(u*dx,v*dy);
  pair w=pws(z);
  real phase=degrees(w,warn=false);
  real modulus=w == 0 ? 0: fracpart(log(abs(w)));
  return hsv(phase,1,sqrt(modulus));
}

image(f,N,N,(0,0),(300,300),antialias=true);

penfunctionimage

For convenience, the module palette also defines functions that may be used to construct a pen array from a given function and palette:

pen[] palette(real[] f, pen[] palette);
pen[][] palette(real[][] f, pen[] palette);
