MATLAB: Problems using the custom color map

Question

Hi, I made a custom colormap (size = 15 x 3) and now I am trying to use it but it is not working. Here is the code:

…plotting code

set(gcf,'Colormap',mycmap)

And then I get this error:

Undefined function or variable 'mycmap'.

The mycmap variable is loaded into my workspace. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Dan.

Answer 1

Is

    set(gcf,'Colormap',mycmap)

executed in the base workspace?
