Algorithm (Workflow)

The function VLcol generates a colormap that is similar to the basic colors used in MATLAB. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth. The function does not take any input parameters and returns a single output:

cm: A colormap matrix where each row represents a color in RGB format.

The colormap is defined as follows:

[0.2 0.2 0.2]: A dark gray color.
[0 0 1]: Blue.
[0 1 0]: Green.
[0 1 1]: Cyan.
[1 0 0]: Red.
[1 0 1]: Magenta.
[1 1 0]: Yellow.
[185/255 185/255 224/255]: A light purple color, similar to a color used in CATIA software.

The function is straightforward and does not include any conditional logic or parameters. It simply returns the predefined colormap matrix.
