## @deftypefn {Function File} {} @var{hsv_map} = rgb2hsv (@var{rgb_map})
## Transform a colormap from the rgb space to the hsv space.
##
## A color n the RGB space consists of the red, green and blue intensities.
##
## In the HSV space each color is represented by their hue, saturation
## and value (brightness).  Value gives the amount of light in the color.
## Hue describes the dominant wavelegth. 
## Saturation is the amount of Hue mixed into the color.
