Subject: [PATCH] Added --cbmin, --cbmax

These are used unless --colormap. Added more docs to describe what --colormap
does. It is legacy.

 C<--colormap>
 
-Show a colormapped xy plot. Requires extra data for the color. zmin/zmax can be
-used to set the extents of the colors. Automatically sets the
-C<--rangesize>/C<--tuplesize>.
+This is a legacy option used to who a colormapped xy plot. It does:
+
+- Adds C<palette> to C<--curvestyleall>
+
+- Adds 1 to the default C<--tuplesize> (if C<--tuplesizeall> is not given
+
+- Uses C<--zmin>, C<--zmax> to set the colorbar range
+
+It's clearer to set the relevant options explicitly, but C<--colormap> still
+exists for compatibility
