imagesc {matlab}R Documentation

MATLAB imagesc function

Description

Scales image data to the full range of the current palette and displays the image.

Usage

imagesc(x = seq(ncol(C)), y = seq(nrow(C)), C, col = jet.colors(12), ...)

Arguments

x,y locations of grid lines at which the values in C are measured. These must be finite, non-missing and in (strictly) ascending order. By default, the dimensions of C are used.
C numeric matrix representing data to be plotted. Note that x can be used instead of C for convenience.
col vector of colors used to display image data
... graphical parameters for image may also be passed as arguments to this method

Details

Each element of C corresponds to a rectangular area in the image. The values of the elements of C are indices into the current palette that determine the color of each patch.

The method interprets the matrix data as a table of f(x[i], y[j]) values, so that the x axis corresponds to column number and the y axis to row number, with row 1 at the top, i.e., the same as the conventional printed layout of a matrix.
