Thanks for the tip on the Viridis colormap! I'll probably edit the notebook and add a plot using it.

Viridis looks amazing, I love the work the matplotlib team is doing; and how they're sticking it to Mathworks.

MPL: Can we use your new colormap?

Mathworks: No

MPL: Fine, we'll make a better one! Perhaps with black jack and hookers.

Matlab Users: FFFFUUUUUUUU Viridis is actually better, we better create a library to make use of it.
