planarColorKey edit page

planarColorKey encode two scalar properties as hue × saturation colors

* Property 1    Hue        (sampled from a user-supplied or default LUT)
* Property 2    Saturation (linearly from 0 or 1 to full color)

Syntax

cK = planarColorKey
cK = planarColorKey(winter, 'colorModel', 'white', ...)
rgb = cK.property2color(v1, v2)
plot(cK)                % standalone legend (key image only, no labels)
plot(cK, 'labeled')     % legend with labels according to data range

Properties colorMap - n-by-3 hue look-up table. colorModel - 'white' (default) | 'black' what zero-saturation maps to periode - frequency of periodic data (pi/2*pi), wrapping v1. Default: NaN quantileCap - quantile for maximum of v2. Default: 0.975 range1 - data range of v1. Default: [min(v1), max(v1)] range2 - data range of v2. Default: [min(v2), quantile(v2,0.975)] label1 - x-axis label in plot(). Default: 'Property 1' label2 - y-axis label in plot(). Default: 'Property 2'

Example

Example 1: long axis mapping, with saturation given by aspect ratio get the data

mtexdata martensite silent
grains = ebsd('indexed').calcGrains('minPixel',5);
asr  = grains('indexed').aspectRatio;
lax  = grains('indexed').longAxis;

set up colormap

pK = planarColorKey(colorcet('C2'));
% since long axis direction is periodic and antipodal (=pi)
pK.periode = pi;
pK.label1 = 'phi';
pK.label2 = 'a/b';
% and plot it
plot(pK,mod(lax.rho,pi)/degree,asr)

use the key to colorize the map

plot(grains('indexed'),pK.property2color(mod(lax.rho,pi)/degree,asr))

example 2: highlight grains which are large AND have a large aspect ratio

v1 = grains('indexed').aspectRatio;
v2 = grains('indexed').area;

set a colormap

pK = planarColorKey(inferno);

shade to black

pK.shading = 'black';

set the range1 for v1

pK.range1 = [1 4];

set the autoselection of v2 a little lower

pK.quantileCap = 0.9;

set labels

pK.label1 = 'asr'; pK.label2 = 'area';
close all; plot(pK,v1,v2)
plot(grains('indexed'),pK.property2color(v1,v2))
