linecm

Plot a line with changing color over the course of a line.

To plot a line, run

linecm(x,y, @colormap_functionhandle);

Just like that! You now have a much better looking line. Here is an example:

set(0,'DefaultLineLineWidth',2); x=0:0.1:2; y=sin(x);subplot(1,2,1)line(x,y,'Color','b')title("Regular line")subplot(1,2,2)linecm(x,y, @parula);%semicolon is recommendedtitle("linecm")

很明显,linecmlooks much better!

Colormaps
