oceColors9B: Create colors in a red-yellow-blue color scheme

In oce: Analysis of Oceanographic Data

Create colors in a red-yellow-blue color scheme

Description

The results are similar to those of oceColorsJet(), but with white hues in the centre, rather than green ones. The scheme may be useful in displaying signed quantities, and thus is somewhat analogous to oceColorsTwo(), except that some viewers may be able to distinguish more colors with oceColors9B.

Usage

oceColors9B(n)

Arguments

n	number of colors
