Set a new colormap

Hi, I would like to set a new colormap for my trisurf from the cmocean collection. Does anyone know how to set one of them? Thank you.

It should be as easy as calling something like

cmap = cmocean('thermal'); % or 'deep', or whichever colormap from the collection you want.

cmocean maps are great, but may not be appreciated by reviewers

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I've tried this already, but getting error. I was wondering if there anything else I should define first. Does it work in your code?

[jessupj]

what is the error it's giving you? are you sure that the cmocean.m is on your path? you also have to set the figure colormap to the one defined by the cmap command. E.g:

cmap = cmocean('thermal');
pcolor( randn(10) );
colorbar;
colormap(cmap);

Thanks so much! It works now! :)
