Hi all, I'd like to propose we change from "jet" as our default colormap to "bds_highcontrast". I've attached sample images of the same simulation -- I think bds_highcontrast (designed by our very own Britton, nearly two years ago now) is better looking and is easier to discern differences in. I've provided a patch that should make this change here: http://paste.enzotools.org/show/344/ It applies to trunk. If this goes through, we'll also make our plots slightly better distinguished, too, because this is a homegrown colormap. (We also have the "kamae" colormap, created by Tune Kamae, that isn't in matplotlib and that I think is criminally underused overall.) Also, maybe it should be aliased as something in addition to "bds_highcontrast"? Another name? -Matt
I support this move as well as changing the name. Something short and punchy. Britton 2010/2/26 Matthew Turk <matthewturk@gmail.com>

I agree with the change, also. The shade of green reminds me of algae. Maybe that could be its name? It's not punchy, but it's short! John On 1 Mar 2010, at 20:35, Britton Smith wrote:

I like algae a lot. Committed! On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 5:45 PM, John Wise <jwise@astro.princeton.edu> wrote:
