[yt-users] Colormaps

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Elizabeth,

Sure, I could include a little blurb about how to specify the cmap using
the plot modifications.

Also, the api docs (like the descriptions for each function) only show up
on the yt-project.org docs page (i.e. http://yt-project.org/doc/index.html),
which only shows the docs from the previous stable version by default.  For
the most up to date docs, you can go to yt.readthedocs.org, but those lack
the API docs, as well as any of the automatically generated images
(resulting from cookbook entries or the colormaps page).
