Colormaps

Colormaps are mappings from [0,1] to colors. They are a one-dimensional parameterized path through the color cube. For an example of their use, see Heatmap.

A number of colormaps are predefined in the Colormap class. It is also possible to create new custom colormaps.

The predefined colormaps are listed in the table below.
