Yes and no. The actual mapping to color is done by the texture, you just need to 
feed your data into it in a way that puts the wraparound point at 0 and 1.

I appended a simple example.

It is! :) Its really cool, as you can mess with texture to show specific 
important values or ranges, make it smooth or stepped (like in my example) and 
many other cool tricks.

Hope it helps
