💅 NAME 💅

ok so plscmap0 — it sets your cmap0 colors using 8-bit RGB values, and honestly? iconic. that's the whole vibe. 🎨✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plscmap0(r, g, b, ncol0)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie listen. plscmap0 sets the cmap0 colors using 8-bit RGB values (peep the PLplot documentation for the full lore on that). and just so we're clear — this sets the entire color map, okay? only as many colors as you actually specify will be allocated. no extras, no surprise colors, periodt. 💅

Redacted form: plscmap0(r, g, b)

this function is used in examples 2 and 24, so like… it's lowkey famous. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• r (PLINT_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — a vector holding unsigned 8-bit integers (0-255) that say how much red is in the color. 🔴
• g (PLINT_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — a vector holding unsigned 8-bit integers (0-255) that say how much green is in the color. 🟢
• b (PLINT_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — a vector holding unsigned 8-bit integers (0-255) that say how much blue is in the color. 🔵
• ncol0 (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the number of items in the r, g, and b vectors. like, how many colors are we even doing here. 🔢
