More About »
ColorDataFunction
ColorDataFunction
is a function that represents a color scheme.
MORE INFORMATION
ColorDataFunction
works like
Function
.
ColorDataFunction
[
...
][
par
]
finds the color corresponding to parameter
par
in the color scheme represented by the
ColorDataFunction
.
ColorData
gives a
ColorDataFunction
object.

Scope
(5)
ColorData
returns a
ColorDataFunction
object:
ColorDataFunction
returns RGB colors when applied to values within a specific range:
Gradients and physical schemes are defined on continuous intervals:
Indexed schemes are defined at discrete values:
Named schemes are defined at specific sets of values:
Properties & Relations
(2)
ColorDataFunction
from gradients and physical schemes clips values outside of the ranges:
ColorDataFunction
from indexed schemes repeats the colors periodically:
Possible Issues
(1)
In a plot with multiple
ColorFunction
slots, the first slot is chosen, if not specified:
Specify a pure function so that the plot is colored by height values:
