len

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

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

rainbow;

$image\rainbowpic.gif$

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 blue (lowest) to red (highest).
