[Biojava-l] Heat map gradients

[mark.schreiber at group.novartis.com]

Hi -

Slightly off topic but,

I am making an application that will display a heat map based on the value 
of a variable. I'm wondering if anyone has some sample code for generating 
a color on a gradient between color a and color b (red and green are 
traditional but something generic would be nice) based on the value of the 
variable?

I guess this is the sort of thing you use for microarray displays/ 
correlations etc. Cellular automata in this case but it should be useful 
to others in the list.
