[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36473] colormaps different from matlab

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #36473 (project octave):

I'd rather not hard code a list of colormaps if possible.

How about using a persistent cellstr list in the colormap function, then
allow the list to be displayed with


colormap ("list")


and added to with


colormap ("register", "name")


Then you could add lines like


## PKG_ADD: colormap ("register", "jet");


to all the colormap functions and the documentation just needs to say
"colormap ("list") displays a list of all available colormaps."

The docstrings for all the available colormap functions (with
descriptions) should be grouped together in the manual, so I
don't think it is necessary to provide a list describing them in the
colormap function docstring.
