It's complicated because you have to understand how OpenGl works (not my strong suit), but the Octave code to start debugging is at libinterp/corefcn/gl-render.cc in the function draw_patch().

I was trying some test code with patch related to this bug report and discovered an entirely separate problem in the input validation.  I filed a report about that at bug #57569.

i.) Create a patch triangle and put the colors R, G and B into the vertices and plot the triangle with a jet map + interpolation. One edge goes directly from blue to red (without green). In matlab R2018 the whole colormap appears over the edges.

ii.) In older matlab releases (R2013) the "exact" interpolation was used for patch plots containing less 120 triangles. For plots > 120 triangles same interpolation as in octave was used. In R2018 this is changed: Interpolation is "exact" for any number of triangles. [Since the "cool" map is not affected my guess is also that was the reason why the pdetools did use "cool".]

iii.) There are some "okay maps". Examples:


## rgb=[0, 1, 1; 1, 0, 1];
## rgb=[1, 1, 0; 1, 0, 1];
rgb=[1, 0, 0; 0, 0, 1];
okmap = interp1 (linspace (0, 1, 2), rgb, linspace (0, 1, 64));


iv.) Both pictures show the difference between R2018 and Octave for jet and cool. One picture shows the solution of the laplace equation derived with P1 (linear) finite elements on an unstructured triangular mesh. This lets me to the assumption that barycentric interpolation from the corners into the triangle area is the correct interpolation technique.

I am very interested if somebody can tell me where the interpolation is done inside the source code.

MWE attached.
