Colormaps

The choice of colormaps for data visualization can affect the information accessible to color-blind users. For example large patches of cyan in an image with a bitonal cyan-magenta colormap (Matlab's "cool") might become invisible to Protanopes if displayed on white background. Platforms: Matlab

User can generate a custom linear colormap giving 2 colors and colormap depth.Colors are given as vectors with RGB values. The suggested input method is using intensity values for each channel (0,1), but values in the (0,255) range are also allowed.No other colorspaces are allowed (i.e.... Platforms: Matlab

Superimpose multiple semitransparent images with individual colormaps on the current axis.Remaps CData for multiple images, plotted in the current axis, to their respective individual colormaps. Multiple examples provided. The examples also demonstrate how semitransparent effects can be achieved... Platforms: Matlab

SHOWCOLORMAPS shows available Matlab colormaps by cycling through them. Usage: showcolormaps(m) where m is the number of levels the colormap should have. Default is 64,except for vga which has (always) only 16. Next the user may cycle by entering either 1 or enter - shows next colormap 0 -... Platforms: Matlab

PMKMP Returns perceptually balanced colormaps with rainbow-like colors PMKMP(N,SCHEME) returns an Nx3 colormap. usage: map=pmkmp(n,scheme);JUSTIFICATION: rainbow, or spectrum color schemes are considered a poor choice for scientific data display by many in the scientific community (see for... Platforms: Matlab

ColormapsNc lets you create your own colormaps (up to 256 colors).ColormapsNc is able to create a custom colormap by specifying up to 256 different colors. The colors will be shown in the order you chose them from the botton to the top of the colorbar.If you execute this program after that a... Platforms: Matlab

Makecmap is a GUI based editing tool for matlab rgb colormaps. Thered, green and blue values can be edited using the mouse. Colormapscan be read from a figure, or entered on the command line. Thecolormap can be exported to a variable on the desktop or an executablem-file. Platforms: Matlab

This Graphical User Interface(GUI) will essentially allow you to give an antique look to your photos. You basically import a color image and draw as many regions (of any shape) on the image. These regions will retain the original color while the rest of the image will appear black and white. This... Platforms: Matlab

a simple function that returns a colormap, C, for visualizing gene expression. C is just a N x 3 matrix [R G B] describing the range of color values.example usage: C = exp_colormap('blue-yellow',64); colormap(C);called without any arguments, it returns a [3 x 64] green-red colormap.options for... Platforms: Matlab

This is an embarrassingly simple function to augment the currently available MATLAB colormaps. It works as a seamless replacement for the current maps like jet and hsv. So to use it you just call colormap(othercolor('colorname')). The function handles interpolating to any number of points... Platforms: Matlab

This function produces a colorbrewer table (rgb data) for a given type, name and number of colors of the colorbrewer tables. For more information on 'colorbrewer', please visit: http://colorbrewer2.org/ The tables were generated from an MS-Excel file provided on the website... Platforms: Matlab

Many colormaps like Jet cause your eye to misunderstand important characteristics of your data. It is often best to simply blend from one color to another, or possibly through three. This file will makes such colormaps. Platforms: Matlab

Default colormaps on color images often reproduce to confusing grayscale images. The proposed colormap maintains an aesthetically pleasing color image that automatically reproduces to a monotonic grayscale with discrete, quantifiable saturation levels.It is quite informative to display intensity... Platforms: Matlab

An astronomical imaging and data visualization application. DS9 supports FITS images and binary tables, multiple frame buffers, region manipulation, and many scale algorithms and colormaps. It provides for easy communication with external analysis tasks and is highly configurable and extensible.... Platforms: Mac

A medical image viewer freeware. It is an interactive system for planar and volume visualization which enables practitioners to quickly explore and analyze 3D medical or scientific data on a standard PC (Windows, Linux, MacosX). This software uses fast OpenGL graphics (ATI/NVidia) and is able to... Platforms: Mac

Gifsicle is a UNIX command-line tool for creating, editing, and getting information about GIF images and animations. Gifsicle is a software that helps you edit GIF animations. FEATURES: · Batch mode for changing GIFs in place. · Prints detailed information about GIFs, including... Platforms: Linux

This is a program for exploring longitude/latitude based data stored in NetCDF file format. Ncvtk is built on top of the VTK toolbox. Ncvtk has been designed with the aim of offering a high degree of interactivity to scientists who have a need to explore three-dimensional, time-dependent... Platforms: Windows, Mac, *nix, Python, BSD Solaris

Version , 3/2007 (*What's NEW: 9/2010, A colorbar solution)Problem: There is only one colormap per figure, so all plots share the same colormap. Often one wants different colormaps.Solution: This function pair provides an easy way to have plots using different colomaps in the same... Platforms: Matlab

Features:1) All colors have nearly the same luminescence (ideal for lifetime images that will be displayed with an additional transparency map to "mask" places where the lifetime is not well defined)2) Color vision deficient persons can only see reduced color: as much as 10% of adult male persons... Platforms: Matlab

If you want to show two 2D datasets as images above each other you might find this class useful.You can define the range of values which should be shown. The overlay works with independent colormaps for both images. It can partly be hidden for values within a certain range. The datatip provides... Platforms: Matlab
