imagesc in CDAT

The imagesc function in MATLAB creates plots that have color bars scaled to a user-specified range. This allows you to simply create a whole series of plots that can be easily intercompared.

The following function imitates imagesc:

    import vcs
    def imagesc(x, mini, maxi):
        t = vcs.init()
        a = t.getboxfill('quick')
        a.level_1 = mini
        a.level_2 = maxi
        t.plot(x, a)

x is the input array and mini and maxi define the range in values to plot. The function establishes a VCS canvas, imports the "quick" boxfill graphics method, sets the level range to mini and maxi, and plots x using this customized graphics method.
