MATLAB: How to invert the distribution of colors in a colormap, in MATLAB 8.1 (R2013a)

MATLAB

For example, in the following figure
load flujet
image(X)
colormap(hot)
colorbar
the colormap's lower value is dark red/black, while its higher value is yellow/white.
Is there a way to flip the colormap (i.e. lower numerical values to be yellow/white and higher numerical values to be represented as darkred/black) without having to create a new colormap manually?

Best Answer

The solution in this case would be to flip the values of the colormap, using the command:
colormap(flipud(hot))
