Adding a legend when using imagesc, including white for NaN

问题

I have a 35x43 matrix of data with vales ranging from 1-6 and lots of NaNs.

I want to NaNs to be white, and the numbers to each be a different colour. I need a legend with the 6 different colour and labels on it.

I can achieve most of this with the following code, however the colours in the legend do not match the colours in the figure. See code below

    figure(6)
subplot(1,2,1)
imagesc(lut)
title('Highest Weighted Predictor variable for each Pixel')
ylabel('Longitude')
xlabel('Latitude')
caxis([0, 7])
myColorMap = jet(7);
myColorMap(1,:) = 1;
colormap(myColorMap);
M = jet(7); % Notice the 3, here and below
hold on
L = line(ones(7),ones(7));
set(L,{'color'},mat2cell(M,ones(1,7),3))
[legh,objh,outh,outm] = legend('First','Second','Location','Southeast');
set(objh,'linewidth',200);
legend('Forest','Shrubland','Savanna','Grassland','Agricultural','Barron');
grid on
ax = gca
ax.GridAlpha = .2
ax.XTick = [5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40];
ax.YTick = [5 10 15 20 25 30];
ax.XTickLabel = {'118^{o}E','123^{o}E','128^{o}E', '133^{o}E', '138^{o}E', '143^{o}E','148^{o}E', '153^{o}E'};
ax.YTickLabel = {'13^{o}S','18^{o}S','23^{o}S','28^{o}S','33^{o}S','38^{o}S'};
ax.TickLength =[0.0 0.0]

To display the NaN values as white I would use something like this. Then for your colormap, just use jet(6). Then the colors will match up just fine.

lut = [1:6 NaN];

myColorMap = jet(6);

imagesc(lut, 'AlphaData', ~isnan(lut))
colormap(myColorMap);

L = line(ones(6), ones(6));
set(L, {'Color'}, num2cell(myColorMap, 2))

legend(L, {'Forest','Shrubland','Savanna','Grassland','Agricultural','Barron'})

I would suggest an alternative solution using a colorbar with individual ticks:

%// example data
lut = randi(6,35,43);
lut(1:23:end) = NaN;

%// parts of your your code
figure(6)
% subplot(1,2,1)
imagesc(lut)
title('Highest Weighted Predictor variable for each Pixel')
ylabel('Longitude')
xlabel('Latitude')
caxis([0, 7])
myColorMap = jet(7);
myColorMap(1,:) = 1;
colormap(myColorMap);
M = jet(7); % Notice the 3, here and below
hold on

%// colorbar
c = colorbar
c.Ticks = (1:6)+0.5
c.TickLabels = {'Forest','Shrubland','Savanna','Grassland','Agricultural','Barron'}
