Description
ColorMaps
translate numbers into colors, for use in contour plots.
HSVMap
maps colors in the color wheel order
used in the HSV
color scheme. All of the colors have the same saturation and
value, but the hue varies with the value being plotted.
The saturation
and value
parameters determine the fixed saturation and value of all the
colors in the map. The phase_shift
determines
which hue will correspond to the minimum value of the data.
(Since the map is periodic, it also corresponds to the maximum
value.)
