Michiel, That looks very nice. I committed it to the trunk as svn 5084. Thank you!
Please provide a simple demo script suitable for inclusion in the examples subdirectory, and I will commit that also. I think it would be nice to have two subplots, one with a linear color scale, the other with a log scale, and with a colorbar for each. (There might be some wrinkles with colorbar for a log scale--I don't recall.)
