Colormap that prints nicely in black and white

Hey, it's getting vivid! Nice!

Neat! I have been sticking mainly to the front-end parts of matplotlib with
only a vague understanding of the backend/core pieces. I am learning more
all the time.

I'm diving sometimes into matplotlib code, but this is the deepest
glimpse I have reached so far ...

Mmmh, for some reason colorConverter is used there again, maybe
historical.

Might be a good idea to try and make a flowchart of some sort and codify
where and when certain things should be done and strive for that
organization.

Maybe it would be good contribution to the developer's documentation
of *how matplotlib works*.

I hope it isn't the blind leading the blind here. I tend to get lots of
crazy design ideas, especially when dealing with overall architecture, even
without fully understanding exactly how things work.

haha! Seems that we are similar in this respect. But in this case, I
really tried to tell only ideas which are verified to work from
inspection of the code afaict.

Do you have a github account? Maybe we can fork Andrew Straw's repo and
bang on this for a on a separate branch. I have about a week and a half
left before I have to divert my full attention to a month-long project.

It's a good idea, my account is friedrichromstedt, maybe you can fork
and add me as an collaborator?

Maybe we should also start up another thread summarizing some of the ideas
that has been passed around in this thread and make a prioritized ToDo list
with milestones?

How long do you think will this gray thingy take? My plan was to
finish next week by Friday.

I hope I will get a whole picture today night.
