colorbar: MATLAB colorbar function

Description

Displays colorbar showing the color scale.

Usage

colorbar(C, location=c("EastOutside", "WestOutside", "NorthOutside", "SouthOutside"), ...)

Arguments

C
numeric vector or matrix representing data values
location
character scalar indicating desired orientation with respect to the axes
...
graphical parameters for image may also be passed as arguments to this method

Details

The values of the elements of C are indices into the current palette that determine the color of each patch.

This implementation differs a bit from its MATLAB counterpart in that the values must be passed explicitly.
