yes it was lot easier, but i had to set the vmin and vmax kwargs or it
wouldn't work:
            sigbrowse=figure()
            x=self.stData.Data[items[0]]
            y=self.stData.Data[items[1]]
            z=self.stData.Data[items[2]]
            scatter(x,y,c=z,faceted=False,vmin=z.min(),vmax=z.max())
            colorbar()
            show()
