MiColorMapping

Type Parameters:

V - the type of values

C - the type of colors
```
public interface MiColorMapping<V,C>
```
Interface defining a color mapping function.
This generic class specifies the interface used to map a value of a scalar data set to a color. It is used when displaying scalar data sets as colors.
In order to define a custom color mapping, create a class derived from this class.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`C`	`getColor(V value)`	Returns the color associated with the given value.
`V`	`getMax()`	Returns the maximum of values for the colormap.
`V`	`getMin()`	Returns the minimum of values for the colormap.
`long`	`getTimeStamp()`	Returns for this colormap a unique time stamp across all colormaps in the application. When the content of the color mapping changes, the time stamp must increase.

- Method Detail
  - getColor
```
C getColor(V value)
```
    Returns the color associated with the given value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value
    
    Returns:
    
    the associated color
  - getMin
```
V getMin()
```
    Returns the minimum of values for the colormap.
    
    Returns:
    
    minimum value
  - getMax
```
V getMax()
```
    Returns the maximum of values for the colormap.
    
    Returns:
    
    maximum value
  - getTimeStamp
```
long getTimeStamp()
```
    Returns for this colormap a unique time stamp across all colormaps in the application.
    When the content of the color mapping changes, the time stamp must increase. The time stamp allows representations to identify this colormap and to be aware of any changes to it.
    Note: MxTimeStamp can be used to generate a valid time stamp.
    
    Returns:
    
    a time stamp value
