Perfect!

I actually had found ListedColormap in the docs.
It's name was very promising but the __init__ function had 
no help.  Can I suggest adding at least the following:

        `colors` is a sequence of Matplotlib colors.
        `name` is a string (a name assigned to this colormap).

Seems obvious in retrospect, but of course that's too late ...

By the way, how is the name attribute used?

Thanks,
