Re: [SIP-devel] colormaps

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Hi, Jocelyn,

your function sip_colormap has just been included in my sip-dev tree.
I decided to keep the name. I was also thinking about accepting a
string as the first argument, in addition to the integer one. This
would be easy to do and allows the user to remember the colormap
without effort.

Meanhwile, I'm finishing including/revising/improving Vitor's XML
contrib and rewriting the manpage build system to support the new
scheme.

About Bruno Pincon, could you please you contact him and include his
functions into SIP?

best,
Ricardo.
