syntax error in ge_colorbar: initializes cMap to a string instead of an array

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

In my version of  "ge_colorbar", I changed the following line of code: 
OLD:                cMap = 'jet';
NEW:                cMap = jet;

My version had an error trying to read the string "jet" instead of the 
1x64 array of color values.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. maybe running the ge_colorbar demo
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I got an error message: 
??? Error using ==> interp1 at 185
There should be at least two data points.

Error in ==> ge_colorbar at 94
    YIRed = interp1(X,YRed,fM);

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I had the same error, but solved the problem otherwise. The problem was imho 
that in 
Line 43 and 44 of ge_colorbar

    coords(:,1) = x(:);
    coords(:,2) = y(:);

the variable winter from demo_ge_colorbar was a string. I added

cMap = colormap(cMap);

and now it works.

function [output] = ge_colorbar(x,y,data,varargin)
