How do i use multiple colormaps in a single figure. For example, colormaphsv128 creates an hsv colormap with 128 colors. For colormaps larger than those defined by the original colorbrewer data, it interpolates all of the colorbrewer defined nodes for that colorscheme not just the ones from the largest predefined colormap to closer match the original colorbrewer colormaps. Colormaps only apply to what matlab calls indexed images, which are nothing more than a grayscale image with a pseudocolor look up table a colormap applied to it upon display. Your school may already provide access to matlab, simulink, and other addon products through a campuswide license.
