freezeColors / unfreezeColors 2.3

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 figure.Example:subplot(2,1,1)imagesc(peaks)colormap hotfreezeColors %freeze this plot's colormapsubplot(2,1,2)colormap hsv % won't change any frozen plots!surf(peaks)freezeColorsetc...**** COLORBAR WORKAROUND (NEW 9/2010) ****** Note: in recent versions of MATLAB the colorbar is reinitialized** whenever you call COLORMAP, which undoes the effects of freezeColors.**** Suggested solution: Use the function CBFREEZE, by** Carlos Adrian Vargas Aguilera, located in the fileexchange** http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24371%usageh=colorbar; cbfreeze(h), or simply cbfreeze(colorbar)%Colorbar workaround exampleimagesc(peaks)freezeColorscbfreeze(colorbar)Since Carlos has made a nice solution, I have chosen not to duplicate his efforts. Please use his fine code.****FUNCTIONSfreezeColors Freeze colors of plots, making them immune to later changes in the colormap. Converts colors of many graphics objects (images, surfaces, scattergroups, bar plots, patches, etc--anything using indexed CData) to [r g b] truecolor.unfreezeColors Reverses the effects of freezeColors. Restores the original indexed color data, allowing the colormap and caxis to again affect the plots.Demo & Documentation in freezeColors_pub.html, test in test/test_main.m.
