I am trying to find the best way to plot my data. I have a 2D list of scalar coefficients (rational numbers) whose value lies between 0 and 1 (being rational, they can be 0,..., 0.01,... 0.999,..., 1). I want to plot the amplitude of these coefficients in 2D and use a colour function to indicate their amplitude.
I think the best way to do this is to use
MatrixPlot[]
with options
ColorFunction -> "MyPersonalScheme"
and (possibly?)
ColorFunctionScaling -> True
In essence, my question is the following:
"How can I engineer a color scheme, "MyPersonalScheme"
, so that a coefficient of amplitude 0
is plotted in white, and a coefficient of amplitude 1
is plotted in red (and have a 'hue' of colour from white to red for amplitudes in between)?"
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
