plots with open-ended contour intervals
If there is an easy way to upload an image, please tell me.
In words . . . suppose you have a 2D variable which ranges from -100 to 100, but you want to make a contour plot over -10 to 10 and you want to paint -100 to -10 with the lower extreme color and 10 to 100 with the higher extreme color. The colorbar must indicate the fact. The most common way is to have a little downward pointing triangle for the -100 to -10 range and an upward pointing triangle for the 10 to 100 range at the lower and upper ends of the colorbar.
In other words, I need contour levels of [-Inf, -10, -8, -6, . . . , 6, 8, 10, Inf] and I need the colorbar to indicate the fact. In my field, the standard plotting programs automatically do this.
I’ve submitted a feature request to the Plots package github to implement this feature for the GR backend.
