# Introduction

Spypal makes it easy to quickly generate attractive colormaps for `spyview` or other applications where uniform colorscales are handy.

Spypal has two basic modes: waypoint pathfinder, and optimal pathfinder. At present, optimal pathfinder is almost useless.

Each time a new colormap is generated, it is saved as a `"cmap.ppm"` as an image and `"cmap.txt"` as human readable text. The colormap can also be saved into a specific file using the "Export" options in the "File" menu.
