pyvista.LookupTable

class LookupTable(*args, **kwargs)

Scalar to RGBA mapping table.

A lookup table is an array that maps input values to output values. When plotting data over a dataset, it is necessary to map those scalars to colors (in the RGBA format), and this class provides the functionality to do so.

See vtkLookupTable for more details regarding the underlying VTK API.

Parameters:

cmapstr | matplotlib.colors.Colormap, optional

Color map from matplotlib, colorcet, or cmocean. Either cmap or values can be set, but not both. See Named Colormaps for supported colormaps.

n_valuesint, default: 256

Number of colors in the color map.

flipbool, default: False

Flip the direction of cmap. Most colormaps allow *_r suffix to do this as well.

valuesarray_like[float], optional

Lookup table values. Either values or cmap can be set, but not both.

value_rangetuple, optional

The range of the brightness of the mapped lookup table. This range is only used when creating custom color maps and will be ignored if cmap is set.

hue_rangetuple, optional

Lookup table hue range. This range is only used when creating custom color maps and will be ignored if cmap is set.

alpha_rangetuple, optional

Lookup table alpha (transparency) range. This range is only used when creating custom color maps and will be ignored if cmap is set.

scalar_rangetuple, optional

The range of scalars which will be mapped to colors. Values outside of this range will be colored according to LookupTable.below_range_color and LookupTable.above_range_color.

log_scalebool, optional

Use a log scale when mapping scalar values.

nan_colorColorLike, optional

Color to render any values that are NANs.

above_range_colorColorLike, optional

Color to render any values above LookupTable.scalar_range.

below_range_colorColorLike, optional

Color to render any values below LookupTable.scalar_range.

rampstr, optional

The shape of the table ramp. This range is only used when creating custom color maps and will be ignored if cmap is set.

annotationsdict, optional

A dictionary of annotations. Keys are the float values in the scalars range to annotate on the scalar bar and the values are the string annotations.
