## Create color colormap.  The colormap consists of red, green, blue, yellow,
## magenta and cyan.  This colormap is specifically designed for users of
## gnuplot 4.0 where these 6 colors are the allowable ones for patch objects.
## The argument @var{n} must be a scalar.
## If unspecified, a length of 6 is assumed.  Larger values of @var{n} result
## in a repetition of the above colors.
