.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
\fBQwtColorMap\fP is used to map values into colors. 

For displaying 3D data on a 2D plane the 3rd dimension is often displayed using colors, like f.e in a spectrogram.
.PP
Each color map is optimized to return colors for only one of the following image formats:
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
QImage::Format_Indexed8
.br

.IP "\(bu" 2
QImage::Format_ARGB32

\fB\fIIndexed \fP\fP
The map is intended to map into 8 bit values, that are indices into the color table.

\fBWarning:\fP
.RS 4
This method is slow for Indexed color maps. If it is necessary to map many values, its better to get the color table once and find the color using \fBcolorIndex()\fP.
