This is the first part in a series of videos giving examples of developing colormaps in MATLAB including:

• The colormaps that we are developing from a journal article
• The colormap applied to a MATLAB figure
• How to call the code to make the colormap
• Explaining the structure of a colormap in MATLAB
• Exploring colormaps in the colormap editor
• Plotting a colormap to understand its structure
• Creating the colormap creating subfunction
• Testing the subfunction
