## @deftypefn {} {} iscolormap (@var{cmap})
## Return true if @var{cmap} is a colormap.
##
## A colormap is a real matrix, of class single or double, with 3 columns.
## Each row represents a single color.  The 3 columns contain red, green,
## and blue intensities respectively.
##
## All values in a colormap should be in the [0 1] range but this is not
## enforced.  Each function must decide what to do for values outside this
## range.
