@tacaswell Ah, I forgot to include the scripts before. Oops! They are there now and the build has passed. How is it now?

Great! This builds cleanly with the figures on my system. I am going to go ahead and merge this, we can always fine-tune the prose later.

I'm very happy to see this in. I've been struggling to understand a plot from a paper this morning, and it turns out the gray scale printed version I was looking at was very misleading (jet colormap!).

@dmcdougall Thanks! I knew something felt different...

@NelleV Jet strikes again! I hope this stuff can help some people along the way.

My advisors one time wondered why it was so "difficult" for me to create a
grayscale version of my radar images for a publication (it was going to be
color version for the electronic copy, but grayscale for the print copy).
"Just run the color version through Photoshop!"

Sigh...

@kthyng Just wanted to post and relay a huge thank you for creating these docs. My use case was a bit different (not plotting inside matplotlib, but I have access to matplotlib colormap objects) and your talks got me 90% of the way done, thank you so much!!!
