Arguments

color_scheme

a character string with possible value: 'white', 'black', 'none', or 'default'.

Description

colordef(color_scheme) sets the color properties of all forthcoming figures and of their axes. The color_scheme and corresponding colors are listed in the table here-below.

fig.color_map jet(64)jet(64)hsv(64)
fig.backgroundlight gray dark gray dark gray
axes.backgroundwhite black black

After having used colordef(color_scheme), it is possible to get back the default default colors with colordef("default").

colordef(f, color_scheme) sets the color properties corresponding to the chosen color scheme, but only for the chosen figure with handle f. The default colors of forthcoming figures are unchanged (except for "default").

colordef('new', color_scheme) creates a new graphic window and sets its color properties according to the chosen color_scheme. The default colors of forthcoming figures are unchanged (except for "default").

Examples

plot()
colordef("white")

colordef("default")
