function res = grs2rgb(img,map,mingrayscale,maxgrayscale)

%%Convert grayscale images to RGB using specified colormap.
%	IMG is the grayscale image. Must be specified as a name of the image 
%	including the directory, or the matrix.
%	MAP is the M-by-3 matrix of colors.
%
%	RES = GRS2RGB(IMG) produces the RGB image RES from the grayscale image IMG 
%	using the colormap HOT with 64 colors.
%
%	RES = GRS2RGB(IMG,MAP) produces the RGB image RES from the grayscale image 
%	IMG using the colormap matrix MAP. MAP must contain 3 columns for Red, 
%	Green, and Blue components.  
%
%	Example 1:
%	open 'image.tif';	
%	res = grs2rgb(image);
%
%	Example 2:
%	cmap = colormap(summer);
% 	res = grs2rgb('image.tif',cmap);
%
% 	See also COLORMAP, HOT

%   Changes made:
%       -Additional annotations added
%       -Input terms for min and max of image added - to allow scaling of
%       the image to a set min and max, instead of automatically scaling
%       the image to its own min and max
