It provides color schemes that work with matplotlib, allowing scientists and data analysts to create plots of ocean data. The package is grounded in research on color perception for oceanographic applications.\n\nThe package depends on matplotlib, numpy, and packaging, making it a lightweight addition to standard scientific Python workflows. It integrates directly into matplotlib's colormap system, so you can use cmocean colormaps anywhere you would use a standard matplotlib colormap. An optional plots submodule is available if you install with extras, which adds viscm and colorspacious for advanced color analysis.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with oceanographic data or need colormaps for scientific visualization. The package is lightweight, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly with matplotlib. The dormant maintenance status is not a blocker\u2014the colormaps themselves are stable research artifacts. However, verify the license terms before use, as the license is currently unclear in the metadata."},"id":"cmocean","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmocean","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmocean.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cmocean/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"cmocean","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Colormaps for Oceanography"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":152864,"position":10891,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.3"}
