[Matplotlib-users] Displaying raster colormap in a colorbar

[Benjamin Root]

Off the top of my head, I wonder if you can set the colormap after the fact
on the image and then create the colorbar. The colorbar is going to assume
whatever colormap was set, and the default is viridis. The problem is that
I don't think a colormap is set on the image when RGB data is passed in
(so, it'll be None), which then means that colorbar falls back on the
default from the system, which is usually viridis. If you call
`im.set_cmap('NameOfYourColormap')`, and then call colorbar(), I think
that'll work.
