Discussion
crameri returns perceptually-uniform scientific colormaps created by Fabio Crameri. % Syntax crameri cmap = crameri(‘ColormapName’) cmap = crameri(‘-ColormapName’) cmap = crameri(…,NLevels) cmap = crameri(…,’pivot’,PivotValue) crameri(…) % Description crameri without any inputs displays the options for colormaps. cmap = crameri(‘ColormapName’) returns a 256x3 colormap. For a visual depiction of valid colormap names, type |crameri|. cmap = crameri(‘-ColormapName’) a minus sign preceeding any ColormapName flips the order of the colormap. cmap = crameri(…,NLevels) specifies a number of levels in the colormap. Default value is 256. cmap = crameri(…,’pivot’,PivotValue) centers a diverging colormap such that white corresponds to a given value and maximum extents are set using current caxis limits. If no PivotValue is set, 0 is assumed. crameri(…) without any outputs sets the current colormap to the current axes. % Examples For examples, type: showdemo crameri_documentation % Author Info This function was written by Chad A.
