You don't need the .keys() when checking if something is in a dictionary.

Here you could get into another tricky situation.

Say someone has already registered a different Colormap under the same name. So, the cmap.name is in the dictionary already, but it is actually pointing to a different colormap and this wouldn't set the global cmap to what you're expecting either.

Ah, this is tricky. Perhaps:

if cmap.name not in cm.cmap_d:
    register_cmap(cmap.name, cmap)
elif cmap is not get_cmap(cmap.name):
    raise some sort of error/warning

and in that error/warning explain that they should use register_cmap or change the name attribute of their colormap?

Also good to note that as originally written this function falls into the same trap. Though I suppose it's not super desirable to maintain backwards compatibility with a silent bug.

Agreed, something like this would be desirable going forward to make it a little more clear what is going on and raising rather than silently doing something unexpected!


rc('image', cmap=cmap.name)
im = gci()

if im is not None:
im.set_cmap(cmap)
