Assigns rgb colors to points on sphere (orientations in 3D).
Install the module using pip install scmap or clone the repository.
The simplest example involves coloring random 3D vectors.
import scmap
import numpy as np
vectors = np.random.standard_normal(size=(1000,3))
vectors /= np.sqrt((vectors**2).sum(axis=1, keepdims=True))
coloring = scmap.Ico()
colors = coloring(vectors)
Sphere colormap (scmap) can be oriented by either perumuting vector coordinates, rotating vectors, or defining a z-direction. Check the examples to see how this is accomplished.
Scmap module includes 4 special spere colormaps. Uno is suitable when orientations are predominantly uindirectional, Duo is suitable when orientations are predominantly in a plane, Tre is suitable when orentations are to be interpeted as being predominantly in x, y or z direction, Ico is suitable when there is no predominant orientation. We also include 2 simpler colormaps: Inc which assigns colors based on inclination, and Azy which colors azymuth.
