04 Mar 2010	41 Complete GUI Examples 41 working GUIs to read and learn. Author: Matt Fig	Lorenzo and Jie, There are many ways to do the same thing in MATLAB! The approach I would have taken in solving the S.E. for GUI_2 involves adding only one line of code, and no call to PAUSE. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

10 Mar 2010	Bipolar Colormap Symmetric/diverging/bipolar cold-neutral-hot colormap	Jody Klymak	I'd also take a look at: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/17555-light-bartlein-color-maps	Comment only
08 Dec 2009	Bipolar Colormap Symmetric/diverging/bipolar cold-neutral-hot colormap	Ged Ridgway	Dear Oliver, thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding the flipping, bipolar takes an optional second argument which specifies the gray-level value of the neutral color, and the ends are actually automatically flipped around if you specify a whiter shade of pale gray. E.g. if you specify 1, you get blue-cyan-white-yellow-red. Personally, I don't think this looks as nice, but that is of course subjective. Regarding your other colormaps, I'm afraid I personally find the same perceptual issue with "bright" (purple bands above and below the pure blue) and with "pastel" (to a small extent but in several places). I really like your thermal and temp colormaps, however, I am particularly keen on having a neutral mid-gray in the centre of the map (which was the reason I focused on hicontrast), rather than white (as in temp) or red (as in thermal). I will play around with modifying CMRmap, thermal and temp, to see if I can find something I am really happy with... If you have any further suggestions, they would be much appreciated, thanks!

08 Dec 2009	Bipolar Colormap Symmetric/diverging/bipolar cold-neutral-hot colormap	Oliver Woodford	Ged, real2rgb (id 23342) only linearizes a colormap's absolute gradient in luminance per color entry - they need to be monotonic to start with if you want monotonic output. It has several other monotonic colormaps (which can be linearized) other than hicontrast. Perhaps you'll find one you like. My thoughts on this colormap are that it could look better with the two ends flipped so that they converge on white instead of dark gray. Have you tried it?	Comment only

07 Dec 2009	Bipolar Colormap Symmetric/diverging/bipolar cold-neutral-hot colormap	Ged Ridgway	Dear Sjoerd, thank you very much for drawing my attention to Carey Rappaport's CMRmap. It turns out that my colormap is not currently suitable for conversion to grayscale. To some extent, it's actually rather difficult to get good visualisation of bipolar/signed data in grayscale anyway, but it would be nice to have a map that degraded more gracefully. I tried to find a bit more about the theory, but have so far failed. E.g. this site is otherwise very helpful, http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_learnMore.html but says "Differences in lightness should be preserved with sequential schemes" while "diverging schemes cannot be photocopied successfully." In other words, Dr Brewer doesn't attempt to make bipolar schemes with nice grayscale equivalents. I found ID 23342 from a comment on CMRmap, and have just tried it out. Unfortunately, its conversion of my colormap to a linear-gray version doesn't seem to work well; the result is non-monotonic in gray-level (at least when converted from a saved PNG using the Gimp) and additionally translates the neutral gray away from the origin. ID 23342 also has a colormap called hicontrast, with linear grayscale, but I don't really like this, as it seems perceptually non-monotonic in color to me, e.g. either side of cyan you can see a pair of pale green colors, which are (by construction) separated in gray-level, but not really in hue, similarly either side of red is a pair of similar magenta hues. I will try to look into this in more detail and provide an alternative map (necessarily without the user-definable neautral gray-level, as this will have to be at or very near to 0.5) that degrades better to grayscale in a future update... Thanks again for the heads-up!	Comment only
