MATLAB: How to specify a custom colorbar for PIE plots in different subplots

I would like to specify a different colormap for each subplot in my figure.

There is no direct way to specify a different colormap for each subplot, you have to manually change the "Facecolor" property of each element. Use the attached MATLAB file: "PIE_colormap.m" as an example to customize the colormap for different subplots in a given figure.

If you would like to use different colormaps on each 'axes' object in the same figure, read Technical Note 1215 on the MathWorks support website.

Currently, you can specify only one colormap per figure. Therefore, to display more than one plot in a figure with separate colorbars, you can concatenate two colormaps and then set the 'CLim' property of each axes so that the two subplots map into different portions of the colormap.

For an example of how this is done, please refer to the following documentation:

You can change your colormap to have more colors. The default is 64.

colormap(jet(128))
