## @deftypefn  {Function File} {@var{map} =} cubehelix ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{map} =} cubehelix (@var{n})
## Create cubehelix colormap.
##
## This colormap varies from black to white going though blue, green, and red
## tones while maintaining a monotonically increasing perception of intensity.
## This is achieved by transversing a color cube from black to white through
## a helix, hence the name cubehelix, while taking into account the perceived
## brightness of each channel according to the NTSC specifications from 1953.
##
## @example
## rgbplot (cubehelix (256))
## @end example
##
## The argument @var{n} must be a scalar.
## If unspecified, the length of the current colormap, or 64, is used.
