3.25.54.4 cubehelix

The "cubehelix" option defines a family of palettes in which color (hue) varies along the standard color wheel while at the same time the net intensity increases monotonically as the gray value goes from 0 to 1.

‘start‘ defines the starting point along the color wheel in radians. ‘cycles‘ defines how many color wheel cycles span the palette range. Larger values of ‘saturation‘ produce more saturated color; saturation > 1 may lead to clipping of the individual RGB components and to intensity becoming non-monotonic. The palette is also affected by ‘set palette gamma‘. The default values are

      set palette cubehelix start 0.5 cycles -1.5 saturation 1
      set palette gamma 1.5
