如何从两种颜色创建插值颜色图或调色板?

How to create an interpolated colormap or color palette from two colors?

我想在两种颜色之间创建一个调色板。例如在 BlueRed 之间有 20 或 50 个实例。

如何在 Matlab R2014b 中实现这一点?

您可以使用任何类型的插值(例如 interp1) to create your own custom colormap between two colors or multiple colors. A colormap is basically a 3-column matrix with RGB-values. In your case its pretty simple, as you just need red with [1 0 0] and blue [0 0 1] and linearly interpolated in between. linspace 因此是最佳选择。

n = 50;               %// number of colors

R = linspace(1,0,n);  %// Red from 1 to 0
B = linspace(0,1,n);  %// Blue from 0 to 1
G = zeros(size(R));   %// Green all zero

colormap( [R(:), G(:), B(:)] );  %// create colormap

%// some example figure
figure(1)
surf(peaks)
colorbar

请注意,您还可以通过键入 colormapeditor.

使用颜色图 GUI

您也可以使用 2D-interpolation:

n = 50;                %// number of colors

cmap(1,:) = [1 0 0];   %// color first row - red
cmap(2,:) = [0 1 0];   %// color 25th row - green
cmap(3,:) = [0 0 1];   %// color 50th row - blue

[X,Y] = meshgrid([1:3],[1:50]);  %// mesh of indices

cmap = interp2(X([1,25,50],:),Y([1,25,50],:),cmap,X,Y); %// interpolate colormap
colormap(cmap) %// set color map

%// some example figure
figure(1)
surf(peaks)
colorbar


这只是另一个使用 样条插值 获得更宽的蓝色和红色区域的示例:

n = 50;                %// number of colors

v = [0,0,0.1,0.5,0.9,1,1];
x = [-5*n,0, 0.45*n, 0.5*n, 0.55*n, n, 5*n]; 
xq = linspace(1,n,n);
vq = interp1(x,v,xq,'spline');
vq = vq - min(vq);
vq = vq./max(vq);

B = vq;  %// Blue from 0 to 1 with spline shape
R = fliplr(B);  %// Red as Blue but mirrored
G = zeros(size(R));   %// Green all zero

colormap( [R(:), G(:), B(:)] );  %// create colormap

%// some example figure
figure(1)
surf(peaks)
colorbar


或者使用任何你想要的数学函数:

n = 50;                %// number of colors

t = linspace(0,4*pi,50);

B = sin(t)*0.5 + 0.5;  %// Blue from 0 to 1 as sine
R = cos(t)*0.5 + 0.5;  %// Red from 0 to 1 as cosine
G = zeros(size(R));   %// Green all zero

colormap( [R(:), G(:), B(:)] );  %// create colormap

%// some example figure
figure(1)
surf(peaks)
colorbar
