Jet Killer converts images using the "jet" colormap to a better one (by default "viridis") by using directly the pixel values, without any knowledge about the underlying data.
It can be used as a tool to enhance data visualizations for which the original dataset is unavailable. Use cases include:
- enhancing figures from sources who made an unfortunate colormap choice,
- enhancing graphs for which the original data may be lost,
- enhancing visualizations without having to regenerate it from the original dataset.
To install and use Jet Killer, Python 3 is required.
The following command installs the jetkiller command
and the jetkiller package:

The standalone version of Jet Killer is considered as complete and will not have any major new features.
Here are a few ideas on how to further improve the user experience:
- develop an extension for GIMP (probably with Python-Fu)
- develop an extension for Inkscape (probably using Python)
