    Cmap in Python refers to colormaps, which are used in libraries like Matplotlib to map data values to colors for visualizations such as heatmaps, scatter plots, and surface plots.

    Example: Applying a Colormap

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np

    # Generate sample data
    data = np.random.rand(10, 10)

    # Display the data with a colormap
    plt.imshow(data, cmap='viridis') # 'viridis' is a popular colormap
    plt.colorbar() # Add a color scale bar
    plt.title("Heatmap with Viridis Colormap")
    plt.show()

    Setting a Default Colormap

    You can set a default colormap for all plots using plt.set_cmap():

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    plt.set_cmap('plasma') # Set default colormap to 'plasma'
    Copied!

    Customizing Colormaps

    You can create custom colormaps by combining existing ones or defining your own:
