Better options for scaling / colourmaps #165

I'm using this as my fits viewer on a wayland system (so qfitsview and ds9 aren't options). It would be great to be able to choose other scalings, such as min/max, log, sqrt, etc...

Additionally, being able to choose between more colour map options, or even create your own, would be immensely helpful!

Hi @OmegaLambda1998

Thanks for your report. It is appreciated. I've never tried fips on wayland, so I am surprised that it worked.

Probably, you may see that we are not active on this project on the moment, because everybody is busy with "real science" now. I cannot promise that I'll do your features quickly. But you could try to implement more colour maps on you own (it should be very simple, just use PurpleBlueColorMap class as an example) and make a pull request to the project.

Ahh, sorry I didn't see that. I'll look into a PR :)
