custom colortables

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

do you know, whether it is possible to import custom colortables to Comsol?

I am using Matlab (2013b) together with Comsol (4.4) and would like to produce a surface plot of my data that does not use the predefined colortables of Comsol, but a home-made Matlab colormap as its colortable.

Thank you.
Hannes

The color tables are stored in data/colortables/ in the directory where you have installed the program. If you add a file there, it will be picked up automatically the next time you start the program. The color table file format is described in the documentation: Search for "color table" in the interactive help and follow the first hit that you get (API: Color Tables).
