function h = french(m,flag)
%FRENCH    French's flag color map.
%   FRENCH(M) returns an M-by-3 matrix containing a "french flag" colormap.
%   FRENCH, by itself, is the same length as the current colormap.
%
%   FRENCH(M,FLAG) enables a modification of the colormap, where
%   FLAG can be either 1 (default) or 2.
%
%   For example, to reset the colormap of the current figure:
%
%             colormap(french)
%
%   See also HOT, HSV, GRAY, PINK, COOL, BONE, COPPER, FLAG, 
%   COLORMAP, RGBPLOT.
