Adding names to the color in the new Vega10 color cycle #7343

trpham · 2016-10-25T05:43:30Z

Prefer to this ticket: #7248 "Adding names to the color in the new (Vega) default color cycle"

Implement VEGA10_COLORS dictionary package in _color_data.py,
Use name colors, prefix vega10:__ (where __ is blue, orange, green, red, purple, brown, pink, gray, olive, cyan), respectively equivalent to C0, C1,..., C9
In colors.py, import VEGA10_COLORS, and add this new dictionary into _colors_full_map

Hi @trpham
When submitting a pull request, please add a description of the feature added or the bug fixed.
Else, the reviewers have no clue what the patch proposes.

In terms of code, this is mostly good (apart from the pep8 violation).

We are missing a test: Look at lib/matplotlib/tests/test_colors.py l: 575 how it's done for the xkcd.

I'd also like to have a bit more documentation, but I haven't figured out a good way to do this, so I'll get back to you on that.

Thanks for thinking about documenting this change! That's a really important part of making new features accessible to users.

I think you should add the "vega" prefix to be more specific.

That line is slightly too long for pep8 (1 character too long). The tests are failing because of this line.

@NelleV I did notice that, but it's exactly 80 characters, and I thought leave it like that way is cleaner. Let's me fix it.

pep8 might want that closing brace to be on the next line. Not sure though.

It doesn't. That line is fine pep8-wise.

I think we decided on 'vega10' as the prefix.

I don't think there was a consensus on that (and I'm not sure it's necessary either.)

sphinx is not happy about this line… It says:

I think it is upset that the literal is on several line, but we don't want a block… We'll need to find a solution.

I think just do not put the line break in?

There is still a test missing. Apart from that, it looks good!

I'm still against the 10 in the prefix, and I don't think it was properly decided in #7248.

Still waiting for @tacaswell to finish conversation with Tableau and UW, so I'm not really asking for changes, but just blocking on merge (not that this is really binding) until that's resolved.

tacaswell · 2016-10-31T03:16:19Z

This PR should not be held on the Tableau/UW discussion.

There probably does need to be some 10 in the name as we are using 'category10', there is also 'category20' (which is category 10 + lightened variants) and 'category20b' and 'category20c'. The later two have colors that you would want to use the 'simple' names for and will collide with 'c10' / 'c20'.

how about 'vc10' for this namespace? That might be too obscure.

NelleV · 2016-10-31T03:24:35Z

I must be missing something… What's the link between Tableau and D3 (/vega)?

QuLogic · 2016-10-31T03:25:08Z

Yes, category20 is just the light version of category10; that's why I don't think you need the 10. Category10 is the default, thus it is the most likely to be used (except perhaps for non-prefixed colours.) Why add these redundant two characters to every single usage? I'm talking about overall impact to whatever insert-large-number-here of lines is written by the entire userbase, not just the small effect it has on the setup here.

For category20b & c, @anntzer suggested, e.g., blue1, blue2, blue3, ,blue4, because they're all variants of the same colour. But anyway, this is why we should not split the discussion between these two tickets.

NelleV · 2016-10-31T15:58:05Z

I am fine with either, but we need to be entirely sure that there is no possible overlap with the names.

NelleV · 2016-11-01T18:12:31Z

I think we should not merge this for 2.0 but keep in for 2.1.
The naming is not that easy, and it's going to take some time to pin it down correctly. We should not rush it for 2.0.

…o 'vega:<name>'

Elements are fixed

NelleV · 2016-11-08T18:59:13Z

This looks good to me.
@tacaswell should this go in 2.1 or 2.0?

anntzer · 2016-11-10T21:50:27Z

I strongly favor 2.0 from a usability POV.

Updates have been made.

QuLogic · 2016-11-10T22:43:03Z

The only comment I have is there should be a 'grey' spelling as well.

Maybe change this dictionary comprehension to a for loop for better readability? It seems like too much is being done in one statement.

As far as comprehensions go, this one is pretty simple; I don't think it needs to be rewritten. At most, add a break before for.

The comment is wrong, it's "vega:".
