New plot type--submission questions

Couldn't you also do this by providing a short colourmap instead of
fiddling the norms?

I was just working with a student to do this. It is straightforward
(using norms, as Eric suggests), but not short. I think it would be
good to include wrappers for creating these norms to MPL.

The advantage is then it works for everything: pcolor, scatter, etc.

Yes, but it is not as general a solution. The BoundaryNorm that I will add allows arbitrary color boundaries, just as the specification of levels in contourf does.
