GRAY(len)

len

-

Optional. An integer, the colormap length. Defaults to the length of the current colormap.

density(ravel(rep(0..(clen-1), 32), clen)');

gray;

creates a table of 32 x N (where N == colormap length) RBG values and displays the resulting colors. The resulting image is a vertical plot of colors ranging from black (lowest) to white (highest).

Remarks:

gray by itself sets the colormap and shading.

 

a = gray or setcolormap(gray) returns the RGB values. In this case, use SETSHADING to make the new colormap take effect on an existing density or 2D plot.
