#This script assumes a symmetrical color distribution!!!#

#edit here################

#Info for the color range. Use rgb() for RGB values, hexadecimal codes or colornames (see colors())#
#First (low) color#
Color.Low =

#Second (middle) color#
Color.Mid =

#Last (high) color#
Color.High =

#info about the datarange

max.value =

#image orientation#
legend.horizontal = TRUE or FALSE

#no editting needed below########

#needed libraries#
library(gplots)

#making the colorpalette#
mypalette<-colorpanel(1024,Color.Low,Color.Mid,Color.High)
