colorcloud
Display 3-D color gamut as point cloud in specified color space
Description
colorcloud( displays the
full color gamut of the color image rgb)rgb as a
point cloud. By default, colorcloud uses the RGB
color space.
colorcloud( displays
the full color gamut of the color image rgb,colorspace)rgb as
a point cloud in the color space specified by colorspace.
colorcloud(___,
displays the full color gamut using name-value pairs to control
aspects of the visualization.Name,Value)
hPanel = colorcloud(___)colorcloud.
Examples
Read in RGB image.
RGB = imread('peppers.png');View color gamut.
colorcloud(RGB,'hsv');
Input Arguments
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is
the argument name and Value is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose
Name in quotes.
Example: 'BackgroundColor','w'
Parent of the object created by
colorcloud, specified as a
figure or uipanel object. If you do not specify a
valid object, then the
colorcloud function creates a
new figure window.
Background color to the color cloud, specified as an RGB triplet, a color name, or a short color name.
You can specify any color using an RGB triplet. An RGB triplet is a 3-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range [0, 1].
You can specify some common colors by name as a string scalar or character vector. This table lists the named color options and the equivalent RGB triplets.
| Color Name | Short Name | RGB Triplet | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
"red" | "r" | [1 0 0] |
|
"green" | "g" | [0 1 0] |
|
"blue" | "b" | [0 0 1] |
|
"cyan"
| "c" | [0 1 1] |
|
"magenta" | "m" | [1 0 1] |
|
"yellow" | "y" | [1 1 0] |
|
"black" | "k" | [0 0 0] |
|
"white" | "w" | [1 1 1] |
|
This table lists the default color palettes for plots in the light and dark themes.

Before R2025a: Most plots use these colors by default. |

You can get the RGB triplets for these palettes using the
orderedcolors function (since R2023b). For example, get the RGB triplets for
the "gem"
palette.
RGB = orderedcolors("gem");Example: 'BackgroundColor','r'
Example: 'BackgroundColor','green'
Example: 'BackgroundColor',[0 0.4470
0.7410]
Color of the wire frame, specified as an RGB
triplet, a color name, a short color name, or
'none'. If you specify the
value 'none', then
colorcloud deletes the wire
frame.

Color of the orientation axes and labels,
specified as an RGB triplet, a color name, a short
color name, or 'none'. If you
specify the value 'none', then
colorcloud deletes the
labels.
