To create color map plot, open table with matrix data, open context menu and select Create Figure
→ Color Map
or use Create Figure
button on toolbar. Selection in table is ignored, the whole table is used for plotting.
Color Map can be configured in Properties dialog which can be opened by double click of using context menu.
MagicPlot supports 3 alternatives for X and Y data for plotting matrix:
MagicPlot renders color map plots as a high-resolution raster image with is included into vector image file (eps, pdf, svg, emf). Therefore file size does not depend on data matrix dimensions. The resolution of color map image is set by DPI value in Canvas tab of Figure properties dialog.
MagicPlot interpolates colors in sRGB color space.
MagicPlot supports 3 color map interpolation modes: nearest neighbor (off), bilinear and bicubic.
MagicPlot performs bicubic interpolation of data using cubic Hermite spline which supports non-uniform data. For uniform (equally spaced) x and y values this method is equal to the conventional bicubic interpolation algorithm (which is widely used for image resizing) with coefficient a=-0.5
