DISCRETECOLORBAR Plots a colorbar with discrete variation. In filled contour plots one has discrete values of color (or of shading), but the colorbar resulting from Matlab's COLORBAR command has a continuous spectrum of color. DISCRETECOLORBAR(HC,CAX,CI) where HC is a handle to a colorbar axis (i.e. from calling HC=COLORBAR), CAX=[CMIN CMAX] are the color axis limits, and CI is a vector of contour intervals, redraws the colorbar with discrete breaks at values CI and axis limits CAX. HC=DISCRETECOLORBAR(...) also outputs the handle to teh ..... DISCRETECOLORBAR(HC,CAX,CI,STR) where STR is either 'hori' or 'vert' specifies whether the colorbar should have a horizontal or vertical orientation; STR defaults to 'vert'. Make sure to set the color axis of the contour plot is also is set to CAX [via CAXIS(CAX)]. Usage: discretecolorbar(hc,cax,ci); discretecolorbar(hc,cax,ci,str); _________________________________________________________________ This is part of JLAB --- type 'help jlab' for more information (C) 2001--2015 J.M.
