Parameters ---------- W : array Wigner function array, or any array. levels : int Number of color levels to create. shift : float Shifts the value at which Wigner elements are emphasized. This parameter should typically be negative and small (i.e -1e-5). max_color : str String for color corresponding to maximum value of data. Accepts any string format compatible with the Matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter. mid_color : str Color corresponding to zero values. Accepts any string format compatible with the Matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter. min_color : str Color corresponding to minimum data values. Accepts any string format compatible with the Matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter. neg_color : str Color that starts highlighting negative values. Accepts any string format compatible with the Matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter. invert : bool Invert the color scheme for negative values so that smaller negative values have darker color. Returns ------- Returns a Matplotlib colormap instance for use in plotting. Notes ----- The 'shift' parameter allows you to vary where the colormap begins to highlight negative colors. This is beneficial in cases where there are small negative Wigner elements due to numerical round-off and/or truncation.
