Hi Ethan,

I have made a first test - looks good, well done!

I am only wondering why the gamma correction seems to have the opposite 
effect: gamma>1 makes dark regions appear brighter while the same 
happens for gamma<1 in mine/Davids code. So in gnuplot gamma=1.5 
corresponds to gamma=0.6666.... in the original cubehelix.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction I would say 
that mine interpretation is correct (see the example photograph of the 
lady in the water). But the Wikipedia article might be wrong as well.

Greetings,

Ingo
