+# metapost-colorbrewer
+
+An implementation of the colour palettes from http://colorbrewer2.org for Metapost
+
+The Colorbrewer palettes are copyright (c) Cynthia Brewer, Mark Harrower and The Pennsylvania State University.
+
+This implementation that makes them available for Metapost is copyright (c) 2018 Toby Thurston.
+
+Toby Thurston -- 18 Sept 2018
+
+## Provides
+
+- A Python script that reads "cb.csv" from https://github.com/axismaps/colorbrewer/
+ and creates a Metapost include-file that includes all the Colorbrewer definitions as
+ Metapost colors (cmyk or rgb, as you please)
+
+- colorbrewer-cmyk.mp
+- colorbrewer-rgb.mp
+- colorbrewer-sampler.mp
+
+![Colorbrewer Sampler](colorbrewer-sampler.png)
+
+## Usage
+
+(Assumes you are on osx, adapt as needed for windows, or linux).
+
+- git clone http://github.com/thruston/metapost-colorbrewer
+- mkdir -p ~/Library/texmf/metapost
+- cp metapost-colorbrewer/colorbrewer-cmyk.mp ~/Library/texmf/metapost
+- cp metapost-colorbrewer/colorbrewer-rgb.mp ~/Library/texmf/metapost
+
+and then look at metapost-colorbrewer/colorbrewer-sampler.mp for an example of
+how to use them. Once they are in your local texmf tree you just need to include
+them with "include colorbrewer-rgb" or "include colorbrewer-cmyk"
