hsvcolormap - Hue-saturation-value colormap

### Calling Sequence

  `cmap = hsvcolormap(n)`

### Parameters

- `n` : integer >= 1, the colormap size.
- `cmap` : matrix with 3 columns `[R,G,B]` .

### Description

`hsvcolormap` computes a colormap with `n` colors. This colormap varies the hue component of the hsv color model. The colors begin with red, pass through yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, and return to red. The map is particularly useful for displaying periodic functions.

### Examples

        t=[0:0.1:2*%pi]'; z=sin(t)*cos(t');
        f=gcf();f.color_map=hsvcolormap(64);
         plot3d1(t,t,z,35,45,"X@Y@Z",[-2,2,2])
