## Example 1. color scheme for points on xy plot
x <- seq(0, 1, length.out=40)
y <- sin(2 * pi * x)
par(mar=c(3, 3, 1, 1))
mar <- par('mar') # prevent margin creep by drawPalette()
## First, default breaks
c <- colormap(y)
drawPalette(c$zlim, col=c$col, breaks=c$breaks)
plot(x, y, bg=c$zcol, pch=21, cex=1)
grid()

## Example 4. image of world topography with water colorized 
##            smoothly from violet at 8km depth to blue
##            at 4km depth, then blending in 0.5km increments
##            to white at the coast, with tan for land.
