hsv2rgb
Convert HSV colormap to RGBM = hsv2rgb(H)
M = hsv2rgb(H)
converts a hue-saturation-value (HSV) colormap to a red-green-blue (RGB) colormap. H is an m-by-3 matrix, where m is the number of colors in the colormap. The columns of H represent hue, saturation, and value, respectively. M is an m-by-3 matrix. Its columns are intensities of red, green, and blue, respectively.
As H(:,1) varies from 0 to 1, the resulting color varies from red, through yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta, and returns to red. When H(:,2) is 0, the colors are unsaturated (i.e., shades of gray). When H(:,2) is 1, the colors are fully saturated (i.e., they contain no white component). As H(:,3) varies from 0 to 1, the brightness increases.
The MATLAB hsv colormap uses hsv2rgb([hue saturation value]) where hue is a linear ramp from 0 to 1, and saturation and value are all 1's.
