How can I fix zmin and zmax in the colorscale?

```julia
using PlotlyJS
PlotlyJS.plot(PlotlyJS.scatter(
    x=[0, 1], y=[0, 1], 
    mode="markers",
    marker=attr(
        size = 10,
        color = [-2, 1],
        showscale = true,
        zmin = -5,
        zmax = 5,
    ),
))

```

Try `cmin` and `cmax` instead?

It worked. Thanks a lot!
