logarithmic color scale

[huttarl]

It would be nice to have the option of using a logarithmic (instead of linear) mapping for the color scale. E.g. see map at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale#Graphic_representation
A logarithmic scale makes it easier to see and compare ratio relationships (instead of interval relationships) over a large data range.

I think this could be implemented either in the drawing of the alphamap, or in the mapping of the alphamap value to the color map.

I would be willing to do some implementation on this, if I can get over the git hurdles.

That's a good idea, and you're right with your two approaches where to implement it :)

if you don't want to get over the git stuff you could also send me a zip file with the updated files to contact@patrick-wied.at

Hi,
Yes it's a good idea. Has someone done it ?
Cheers

maybe I am interested in implementing that, as soon as I understand better how the code works.
