cbrewer : colorbrewer schemes for Matlab

This function loads colormaps based on the color brewer schemes (http://colorbrewer2.org/)

Description

This function produces a colorbrewer table (rgb data) for a given type, name and number of colors of the colorbrewer tables. For more information on 'colorbrewer', please visit: http://colorbrewer2.org/
 
 The tables were generated from an MS-Excel file provided on the website
 http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_updates.html

This function also allows to use a variable number of colors for each colortable by interpolating the RGB indices

Based on the original data, there is only a certain number of colors available for each color scheme. When 'ncol' is larger then the maximum number of colors originally given, an interpolation routine is called (interp1) to produce an "extended" colormap.
 
To see the various colormaps available according to their types and names, simply call: cbrewer()

This product includes color specifications and designs developed by Cynthia Brewer (http://colorbrewer.org/).

Nice to see someone port these color scales to Matlab. Thanks!
