# PointCloud.colormap

## Summary
PointCloud.colormap reads the current `colormap` value from this PointCloud instance. Use it to inspect runtime state without mutating resources.

## Syntax
```ts
PointCloud.colormap: PointCloudColormap | Colormap
const value = pointCloud.colormap;
```

## Parameters
This API does not take parameters.

## Returns
`PointCloudColormap | Colormap` - Current accessor value exposed by the runtime object.

## Type Details
### PointCloudColormap

```ts
type PointCloudColormap = BuiltinColormapName | "custom";
```

### BuiltinColormapName

```ts
type BuiltinColormapName = "grayscale" | "turbo" | "viridis" | "magma" | "plasma" | "inferno";
```

## Example
```js
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const wgpu = await WasmGPU.create(canvas);

const pointCloud = wgpu.createPointCloud({ data: new Float32Array([0, 0, 0, 0.1, 1, 0, 0, 0.8]), scaleTransform: { mode: "linear", domainMin: 0, domainMax: 1 } });
const value = pointCloud.colormap;
console.log(value);
```
