263263``DivergingNorm `` renamed to ``TwoSlopeNorm ``
264264~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
265265
266- ``DivergingNorm `` was a misleading name because it did not diverge (in
267- the sense that it is not its self diverging, but is best used with
268- diverging norms). It has been renamed to `.TwoSlopeNorm ` to better represent
269- the normalization function.
266+ ``DivergingNorm `` was a misleading name; although the norm was
267+ developed with the idea that it would likely be used with diverging
268+ colormaps, the word 'diverging' does not describe or evoke the norm's
269+ mapping function. Since that function is monotonic, continuous, and
270+ piece-wise linear with two segments, the norm has been renamed to
271+ `.TwoSlopeNorm `
