The real gradient break is the transition from continental shelf to slope, which can be seen as a sharp break in the map above. Or at an elevation profile, there’s nothing inherently sharp about the transition form land to ocean. However, I’d disagree at least in part with what you say about the land-sea boundary.įrom the physical point of view, looking for example at a map like this I see that the function selects automatically a number of land and sea colors proportionally to the range of positive and negative values in the data. I cannot see it in action as I’m still working with an older version of Matlab, but I was able to look at the documentation The main point of my post was more to confirm this LB divergent palette is safe for all viewers, whether trichromats or dichromats.Īs for demcmap, I like the general idea. Why is the hue circle circular at all?

Notice that the demo data were clipped to begin with. The issue arises from the fact that the data limits are not symmetric, with most negative extreme (lowest areas of the ocean floor) being higher in absolute value than the most positive extreme (highest areas on land).

But that’s another story, which I will tell at the end of my series on color palettes. However, neither is optimal because of the white at the low amplitude values. I do indeed recommend it for geoscience ratio data I also do suggest it it for seismic data as a better alternative to the similar red-white-blue because the colors in the latter are more confusing. Here they are, and I think they passed the test. To test the claim that this color palette is not confusing for viewers with color vision deficiency I run three simulation using the Vischeck plugin for ImageJ (see the related contents section for more details, and also check the Color Blind Essentials ebook) to show how viewers with Protanopia, Deuteranopia, and Tritanopia would see the map above.

In Matlab this has to be done programmatically, and rather than going about it with trial and error I like to do it automatically with the code below: The problem fortunately can be easily fixed by clipping the data limit to a symmetric range. MAKING THE PALETTE SYMMETRIC AROUND THE ZERO This is a problem since the zero is such an important element in ratio data, in this case representing sea level. One only issue in the figure, although not inherently due to the palette itself, is that the centre of the palette is not at the zero. I like this color scheme better than many othera for divergent data.

%% create Light Bartlein orange-white-purple diverging scheme With the code below I am going to load the World Topography Matlab demo data, create the palette and use it to display the data. In the remainder of this post I will showcase one of the palettes, called orange-white-purple, as it is good divergent scheme. Each of these palettes is suited for a specific task, and the authors claim they are non confusing for viewers with color vision deficiencies. It was a Matlab Pick of the week, and it can be used to create four color palettes discussed in the EOS paper by Light and Bartlein. The function is called Light and Bartlein Color Maps.
Before starting my series on perceptual color palettes I thought it was worth mentioning an excellent function I found some time ago on the Matlab File Exchange.
