Use YlGnBu colormap (reversed) for salinity by default #64

Closed kjordahl closed 8 years ago

kjordahl commented 8 years ago

Instead of using jet, let's use YlGnBu for the salinity colormap.

The contours are a bit coarse, and the logspace levels perhaps not ideal.

Can we use the somewhat updated version of the colormap for salinity found at matplotlib.org/cmocean?

Sure! I think I'll copy cm.py to this repo instead of introducing it as a dependency for now.

kthyng commented 8 years ago

great!

kjordahl commented 8 years ago

I just made cmocean a dependency. If that's a problem we can copy the colormaps as needed.

Great! I think it would be good as a dependency in that as other fields are being plotted for TABS, they can use the appropriate colormaps too. I'll look into making the package smaller — I just tested downloading it fresh and it took longer than I expected...
