Creating a [python](https://www.python.org/) package with color palettes and utilities for their use in [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/), [seaborn](https://seaborn.pydata.org/), [plotly](https://plotly.com/python/), and others.

:construction: **WORK IN PROGRESS** :construction:


[R users](https://www.r-project.org/) or [Python users](https://www.python.org/) who don't want to install the package but still want to use the palettes, can download them in CSV form from the dataset's [permalink](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chipdelmal/ArtSciColor/main/ArtSciColor/data/DB.csv)!


## Installation

The package is available through [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/ArtSciColor/), so it can be installed by running:

```bash
pip install ArtSciColor
```

## Usage

To use a color palette simply load the package and run:

```bash
import ArtSciColor as art

hexPalette = art.getSwatch(SWATCH_ID)
```

    <img src="https://github.com/Chipdelmal/ArtSciColor/raw/main/ArtSciColor/media/demo_id.png" width='100%' align="middle">
</a>

where the `SWATCH_ID` should match one of the [palettes available](#available-palettes) in our package (see the following section for more info).


## Available Swatches

Have a look at currently-available palettes by selecting your favorite artist or category, and use one through its `ID`!

## How are the palettes generated?

Getting palette colors is a common exercise for people getting started into clustering methods. The most widely-used algorithm for this task is [k-means](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html#k-means), but in this package the algorithm and its parameters can be provided as long as they adhere to [scikit-learn's](https://scikit-learn.org/) standards. Most of the curated palettes were calculated through the [agglomerative clustering](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.cluster.AgglomerativeClustering.html#sklearn.cluster.AgglomerativeClustering) algorithm as follows:

```python
from sklearn.cluster import AgglomerativeClustering
# Read image and setup number of desired clusters
img = art.readCV2Image(fPath)
CLST_NUM=4
# Clustering algorithm
CLUSTERING = {
    'algorithm': AgglomerativeClustering, 
    'params': {'n_clusters': CLST_NUM} 
}
(pixels, labels) = art.calcDominantColors(
    img, 
    cFun=CLUSTERING['algorithm'], 
    cArgs=CLUSTERING['params']
)
```

Other algorithms such as [DBSCAN](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html#dbscan) and [HDBSCAN](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html#hdbscan), [Spectral Clustering](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html#spectral-clustering), [OPTICS](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html#optics), etc; can also be used.
