| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2.0 | port to github |
||
| 2.1.0 | Updated the image. |
||
| 2.0.0 | Added new rain, topo, diff, and tarn colormaps. |
||
| 1.5.0 | Modified input parser, following a suggestion by Phelype Oleinik. Also, now, if no outputs are specified it sets the colormap of the current axes via colormap(gca,cmap) whereas previously it was simply colormap(cmap). |
||
| 1.4.0 | Documentation fix. |
||
| 1.3.0 | The 'zero' option for diverging colormaps has been extended to a 'pivot' syntax, which allows setting a pivot point to any value, zero or otherwise. |
||
| 1.2.0 | Added a link to our Oceanography paper. Also added the feature to simply type "cmocean" to bring up a window showing colormap options. |
||
| 1.1.0 |
