python中的颜色_Python中的颜色处理

For my clustering gui, I am currently using random colors for the clusters, since I won't know before hand how many clusters I will end up with.

In python, this looks like:

import random

def randomColor():

return (random.random(),random.random(),random.random())

However, when I update things, the colors change.

So what I would favor is to have a function which has an input argument i such as

def nonrandomColor(i):

...

return color

would always return the same color for the same i, while keeping the ability to generate arbitrarily many colors.

Answer does not have to be formulated in python, it's more the general layout I'm interested in.

Just set the seed of the random generator to the index, this might be cheaper than storing the colors.

random.seed(i)

Note that this will make random numbers way less random than before. If that is a problem, e.g. if your application uses random numbers elsewhere, you might want to look into the caching options suggested by other answers.
