[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49130] uint8 images are not shown correctly by imshow with gnuplot

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #49130 (project octave):

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder.  I had the funny feeling I checked all that
scaling formula stuff but couldn't think why it's the way it is.  I will put
that formula back.

The clamping is taken care of after each call to mapcdata().  I had checked
that.  I suppose the thinking is that there is the possibility of non-mapped
data and that should be range-limited as well.  But, now that I think about
this and that three-color plane example:


y = repmat (x, 1, 1, 3);
imshow (y)


not looking correct, this could be where some confusion is.  For example,


      if (strcmp (obj.cdatamapping, "direct"))
        r = round (ccol);
      else
        r = mapcdata (ccol, clim, cmap_sz);
      endif
      r = max (1, min (r, cmap_sz));
      color = cmap(r, :);


maybe shouldn't be passing 'direct' data through the cmap()--it's supposed to
be direct 8-bit color component.  If the direct data in this imshow(y) example
is 8-bit, passed through a 64-level LUT, it's going to saturate just as in the
failed example.

So, perhaps that clamping line of code can be moved inside mapcdata() in all
cases.  Let me think this over for a day.
