Mapcolor: Easily apply mulitple colormaps on the same figure

Take control of your colors! When one colormap just isn't enough.

You are now following this Submission

Ever wish you could use multiple colormaps on a single figure? Now you can. Given an array, mapcolor.m applies a colormap of your choice, returning a new array of the same size that contains explicit RGB triplets. You can then display your data in color, using built-in plotting functions, without relying on the figure's colormap setting.

Also included:
mapcolorbar.m mimics colorbar.m when you're using mapcolor.
colorlabel.m quickly applies labels to Colorbars and MapColorbars.
redblue.m is a colormap from red, through white, to blue--useful for data centered on zero.
