MATLAB: Reverse the Colormap of Surf plot

Question

Hello,

I'm constructing a surf plot using Location (logitude, latitude) and depth data. Following image is the 2D projection of my surf plot. Is there a way to reverse the colormap of my plot?

i.e. Highest values should be shown in Dark blue (instead of yellow) and lowest values should be shown in yellow (instead of blue).

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Grab the colormap and flip it upside down:

f = figure;
surf(peaks(50))
colormap(f, flipud(colormap(f)))
colorbar
