How I can use Hue as color function in BarLegend in this density plot?

ShowLegend[ DensityPlot[1 - Abs[Sin[x] Sin[y]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 3}, PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 280, AspectRatio -> 1, LabelStyle -> {FontSize -> 17, Black, Bold}, Frame -> True, ColorFunction -> (Hue[1 - (0.7 # + 0.31)] &), ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PlotPoints -> 50], {ColorData[(Hue[1 - (0.7 # + 0.31)] &)] &, 10, " 1", " 0", LegendPosition -> {1, 0.15}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 16, Bold, Black}, LegendShadow -> None}]

I agree with others that you can have all the functionality without using the old PlotLegends package, I'd be interested in knowing if there are any options you want to add but cannot. That being said, you can get Hue to work with ShowLegend easily enough. You just had the color function formatted improperly. There's no reason to wrap Hue with ColorDataFunction

ShowLegend[ DensityPlot[1 - Abs[Sin[x] Sin[y]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 3}, PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 280, AspectRatio -> 1, LabelStyle -> {FontSize -> 17, Black, Bold}, Frame -> True, ColorFunction -> (Hue[1 - (0.7 # + 0.31)] &), ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PlotPoints -> 50], {(Hue[1 - (0.7 # + 0.31)] &), 10, " 1", " 0", LegendPosition -> {1, 0.15}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 16, Bold, Black}, LegendShadow -> None}]

By the way, it looks like you are trying to recreate the MATLAB Jet color scheme by restricting the Hue values to between 0 and 0.7. You can also use a Jet-like color scheme directly, which I've defined in this pastebin:

<< "http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Dgck3tBL"; ShowLegend[ DensityPlot[1 - Abs[Sin[x] Sin[y]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 3}, PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 280, AspectRatio -> 1, LabelStyle -> {FontSize -> 17, Black, Bold}, Frame -> True, ColorFunction -> JetCM, ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PlotPoints -> 50], {JetCM, 10, " 1", " 0", LegendPosition -> {1, 0.15}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 16, Bold, Black}, LegendShadow -> None}]

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, exactly, I want to create MATLAB Jet color scheme by restricting the Hue values to be between 0 and 1. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 7, 2015 at 21:24
  • $\begingroup$ A former coworker of mine took the jet color scheme and extracted the RGB values, and I made the JetCM color function from it. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 7, 2015 at 21:27

For example

DensityPlot[ 1 - Abs[Sin[x] Sin[y]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 3}, ImageSize -> 280, ColorFunction -> (Hue[1 - (0.7 # + 0.31)] &), PlotLegends -> Placed[Automatic, Below], PlotPoints -> 50]

enter image description here

DensityPlot[ 1 - Abs[Sin[x] Sin[y]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 3}, ImageSize -> 280, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow", PlotLegends -> Placed[BarLegend[{"Rainbow", {0, 1}}, LegendMarkerSize -> 200], {{1, 0}, {1, 1}}], PlotPoints -> 50]

  • $\begingroup$ using plotlegend is not helping to make the plot consistant with the barlegend, showlegend provide many options. I would like to know if there is a way to use a desired color with ColorData apart from "Rinbow", "TemperatureMap", SunsetColors, and ...etc $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 7, 2015 at 2:02
