Hello,
I'm currently trying to plot Data using contourf(X,Y,Z), where Z values are ranging from 0.01 to -1.6. I'm using the jet colorbar. However, what is interesting to see is between 0 and 0.01, so I would like to have a detailed colorbar between 0 and 0.01, and a small variation between 0 and -1.6. Basically, I would like that the positive values scale in red and the negatives one in blue.
I thought using a logarithmic scaling would help, but it's currently expending the blue and reducing the red, and not giving at all what I want. I used :
cmap = jet
redMap = cmap(:,1);
greenMap = cmap(:,2);
blueMap = cmap(:, 3);
newX = logspace(0, log10(64), 64);
logRedMap = interp1(1:64, redMap, newX);
logGreenMap = interp1(1:64, greenMap, newX);
logBlueMap = interp1(1:64, blueMap, newX);
logMap = [logRedMap; logGreenMap; logBlueMap]';
colormap(logMap);
Note that everything would be super easy if I only had positive values, so I could take the log of my data and it would be ok.
Thanks for the advices.
This is with the natural colormap/colorscale.
And this is when i set everything negative value to zero, so i can see what is interesting. But this solution isn't very satisfying.
This one is after the code I wrote before :
