Can someone help me create a plot that resembles this figure from a scholarly paper?

I have been trying to replicate this figure and plot similar data so I can visualize it like this but I can't seem to find the correct function on MATLAB to get an identical figure. I tried using the heatmap and HeatMap functions but their outputs were not visually pleasing or representative of what it is I'm trying to look at.

I have attatched the figure I would like to replicate. Please let me know if anyone can help! Thank you!

I don't recommend using heatmap due to its inflexibility. imagesc will work for this figure.

You'll have to add the colorbar (see colorbar), the red line and white dotted lines (see xline), and you'll have to add the Close and Open title strings by either using title (but only in 1 font color) or text. xlabel() and ylable() will take care of the axis labels.

If you get stuck show us where you're at and we can help you get over the hump.

Thanks this was so helpful and was exactly what i was looking for. I have another question that perhaps you could help with. How could I put numbers on the xaxis from (for example) -150:150, such as is done here from -25:25.

Specify the x values using this syntax

imagesc(x,y,C) (see the link)
