Inconsitencies in colorrange #1737
Description
I know of three plotobjects that have colorranges : heatmaps, contourf, and contour.
Currently, there is a different way to specify the colorrange for all three of them:
- heatmaps have an attribute
colorrange, which is a tuple - contours have an attribute
colorrange, which is a vector - contourfs have an attribute
_computed_levels, which is a vector of each level.
Could this not be unified? I feel like they should all be tuples, with contourf's having their _computed_levels from a new attribute colorrange, and their existing attribute levels.
There are two reasons to do this. First of all, internal consistency is just always nice. Secondly, I am trying to implement a sync_colorranges! function that sets the same limits for all heatmaps, contours and countourfs passed to it. It would be nice to make it general, as opposed to having three special cases.
