25 Nov 2006	Sam Daly	Doesn't convert to grayscale well for printing.
27 Nov 2006	Will Robertson	Sam: sorry, you must have been misled. This package is designed for creating coloured plots. I you can suggest an algorithm that gives a nice spread of colours that also corresponds to smoothly varying greyscale, I'll happily incorporate it...

16 Sep 2008	Oliver Woodford	For a highly coloured gamut that converts to greyscale, see sc.m and use the 'contrast' colourmap. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=16233 Feel free to use the code.
27 Jul 2009	Ian Harris	Thanks, Will - a real time saver.
