Hi Matt, Thanks for your prompt reply. I was using imshow in conjunction with tf = ColorTransferFunction((lim1,lim2)) and tf.add_layers(8,colormap=mycmap,w=widt,alpha=alpha), for which I can use mycmap=cm.spectral or cm.spectral to mention a few, but when I try cm.jet, it does not seem to exist, and I am still trying to find a suitable colormap for this application.

Hi Renyue,
This list shows all of the colormaps available for anything that uses matplotlib (such as projections, profiles, but not anything that uses write_image or write_png or snapshot):
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Show_colormaps
You can also use these colormaps anywhere:
algae (default) kamae black_green cubehelix
There are also a whole bunch of IDL and other colormaps that are accessible, although I have not used them, which you can see a list of by doing:
from yt.visualization._colormap_data import color_map_luts print "\n".join(sorted(color_map_luts))

Hi,
Where is the list of available colormaps located so I can see their colors?
Thanks, Renyue
