problems using my custom color map

Hi, I made a custom colormap (size = 15 x 3) and now I am trying to use it but it is not working. Here is the code:
...plotting code
set(gcf,'Colormap',mycmap)
And then I get this error:
Undefined function or variable 'mycmap'.
The mycmap variable is loaded into my workspace. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Dan.

Is
set(gcf,'Colormap',mycmap)
executed in the base workspace?

set(gcf, 'Colormap', evalin('base', 'mycmap'))
Are you familiar with the concept of MATLAB "workspaces" ?

You can try using the colormap() function instead. Does this work for you?
grayImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
image(grayImage);
mycmap = jet(15);
% set(gcf,'Colormap',mycmap)
colormap(mycmap);

Apparently you did not specify mycmap like you thought. Put this line right before your call to set():
whos mycmap
If it says it's undefined, then it is undefined, not 15 by 3 like you thought.
