When I have to plot spectra, for example, that show an increase in response over time, I use a small program that I wrote to generate an array of colors that go from *cool* blue to *warm* red.
function Colors = plot_colors(no_plots)
% Generates an n X 3 array of rgb values for multiple plots.
% The colors trend from *coolor* blue to *warmer* red.
% This is useful for showing an increase in response over time.
% Can be used in a loop. Example:
% for n=1:no_plots
% plot(x(n), y(n), 'Color', Colors(n,:))
% end
%
Colors = zeros(no_plots,3);
Colors(:,1) = linspace(0,1,no_plots);
Colors(:,3) = linspace(1,0,no_plots);
half = round(no_plots/2);
Colors(1:half,2)=linspace(0,1,half);
Colors(half+1:no_plots,2)=linspace(1,0,no_plots-half);
I have found it useful for easily visualizing trends in the data where there are a maximum of about 20 plots.
