## Create color colormap.  This colormap ranges from dark blue through blue,
## cyan, green, yellow, red, to dark red.
##
## The argument @var{n} must be a scalar.
## If unspecified, the length of the current colormap, or 64, is used.
##
## Programming Note: The @code{jet} colormap is not perceptually uniform.
## Try the @code{viridis} colormap if that is important.  For a drop-in
## replacement for @code{jet} with better perceptual characteristics try
## the @code{turbo} colormap.
