function cmap = cmrMap(M)
%CMRMAP Create a monochrome-compatible colour map
% 
%   CMAP = IOSR.FIGURES.CMRMAP returns a colour map CMAP (varying black -
%   purple - red - yellow - white) that is monochrome- compatible, i.e. it
%   produces a monotonic greyscale colour map. CMAP is size M-by-3, where M
%   is the length of the current figure's colormap. If no figure exists,
%   MATLAB creates one.
% 
%   CMAP = IOSR.FIGURES.CMRMAP(M) returns a colormap of length M.
% 
%   The map is a slight modification to that suggested in [1].

%   EXAMPLE
% 
%       figure;
%       imagesc(peaks(1000));
%       colormap(iosr.figures.cmrMap(256));
%       axis image;
%       colorbar
