Scale data and display an image object
Syntax
Description
The imagesc
function scales image data to the full range of the current colormap and displays the image. (See Examples for an illustration.)
imagesc(C)
displays C
as an image. Each element of C
corresponds to a rectangular area in the image. The values of the elements of C
are indices into the current colormap that determine the color of each patch.
imagesc(x,y,C)
displays C
as an image and specifies the bounds of the x- and y-axis with vectors x
and y
.
imagesc(...,clims)
normalizes the values in C
to the range specified by clims
and displays C
as an image. clims
is a two-element vector that limits the range of data values in C
. These values map to the full range of values in the current colormap.
h = imagesc(...)
returns the handle for an image graphics object.
Remarks
x
and y
do not affect the elements in C
; they only affect the annotation of the axes. If length(x) > 2
or length(y) > 2
, imagesc
ignores all except the first and last elements of the respective vector.
imagesc
creates an image with CDataMapping
set to scaled, and sets the axes CLim
property to the value passed in clims
.
Examples
If the size of the current colormap is 81-by-3, the statements
map the data values in C to the colormap as shown in this illustration.
In this example, the left image maps to the gray
colormap using the statements
The right image has values between 10
and 60
scaled to the full range of the gray
colormap using the statements
