n |
Desired number of color elements in the panel. |
low, mid, high |
Colors to use for the Lowest, middle,
and highest values. mid may be ommited. |
The values for low, mid, high can be given as
color names ('red'), plot color index (2=red), and HTML-style RGB,
("#FF0000"=red).
If mid is supplied, then the returned color panel will consist
of n - floor(n/2) HTML-style RGB elements which vary smoothly
between low and mid, then between mid and
high. Note that if n is even, the color mid will
occur twice at the center of the sequence.
If mid is omitted, the color panel will vary
smoothly beween low and high.
