Controlling How MATLAB Uses Color

Figure properties control the way MATLAB uses your computer's color resources. These properties influence both the speed of drawing and the accuracy of the colors used to display graphics. The properties discussed in this section include those listed in the following table.

Property	Purpose
Colormap	The figure colormap. An n-by-3 array of RGB values.
FixedColors	Specific colors used by the figure that are not in the colormap.
MinColormap	The minimum number of system color table slots MATLAB uses for the figure colormap.
ShareColors	The property that determines whether MATLAB shares colors with other figure colormaps in the system color table.
Dithermap	A predefined colormap for displaying truecolor graphics objects on a pseudocolor system.
DithermapMode	The property that determines whether MATLAB uses the current dither colormap or creates one based on the colors specified for existing graphics objects.
