The following color maps are defined for this package. To use them, just specify the color index in the ctindex keyword of contour:

Index	Description
0	Black-white linear.
1	Blue-white: Dark blue to white.
11	Blue-red 1: Dark to light blue, then light to dark red; blue is color indices 16-127, red is 128-239.
13	Rainbow (violet to red, 390-680 nm)
43	Red-white: Dark red to white.
53	Rainbow (red to violet, 680-390 nm)
99	CDAT default color map.

Calling loadct without any arguments (i.e. loadct()) prints a list of all color maps available to the package.

To see what a color map looks like, use the plotct command: the color table index is its only argument. Thus, to see the rainbow color map, at the Python prompt just type:

plotct(13)

Note that plotct overwrites any previously active VCS canvas.
