FIRE Blue-Purple Hot colormap

FIRE(M) returns an M-by-3 matrix containing a "fire" colormap.

FIRE, by itself, is the same length as the current figure's colormap. If no figure exists, MATLAB creates one.

To add this colormap as a default map, use 'addpath' with the directory containing 'fire.m'.

To reset the colormap of the current figure use: colormap(fire)

see also: HSV, GRAY, HOT, COOL, BONE, COPPER, FLAG, PINK, COLORMAP, RGBPLOT.

To create any custom colormap, see the directions on line 23 of this m-file.
