It seems to me that the following comment in pgfplotscolormap.code.tex

% Step 1: perform lookup. Map #4 into the colormap's range
% using the linear trafo
% phi(#4) = ( #4 - #1 ) / (#2-#1) * colormaprange(#5).

is correct and the documentation is not.

\[ \phi\colon [m_{\min},m_{\max}] \to [0,1000] \]
with
\[ \phi(m) = \frac{m - m_{\min}} {1000} \]
\[ \phi(m) = \frac{m - m_{\min}}{m_{\max} - m_{\min}} \cdot 1000 \]

Maybe replace \min and \max with \text{min} and \text{max}, respectively.

@Mo-Gul What's your opinion? I saw the \min and \max was used by you in c1f06d2,

@muzimuzhi, why shouldn't we use the predefined mathematical functions \min and \max?

I was afraid the extra treatments for mathematical functions (i.e. wrapping in \mathop) would interfere the spacing. I checked and it seems using \min/\max solely in subscripts gave the same spacing as \text{min}/\text{max}.

Not a big deal.
