About

A simple Matlab function for Fabio Crameri's perceptually uniform scientific colormaps.

Usage

crameri without any inputs displays the options for colormaps.

crameri ColormapName sets the colormap of the current axes.

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.
