Description

ColorMaps translate numbers into colors, for use in contour plots. GistEarth uses a geographically inspired color sequence, from dark blue at the bottom, representing water, through green, beige, and finally white at the top, representing snow-covered mountains. The resulting contour plots resemble topographical maps. The name comes from the GIST software for viewing GIS data, which popularized this scheme.
