Hi all,

I haven't applied the diff yet, but I always welcome such eye-candy
features;)

IMHO David's remarks about the right/individual color-mapping are important:
Though even if the mapping is adapted to the athlete's history (her
min/max/avg paces or speeds) the result could fail in some usecases:

(e.g. I do intervals regularly so my history min/max ranges from
snail-slow jog to 400m sprint. Not much different to an absolute scale,
or? Same for cyclists in the mountains etc.)

Maybe offer several options (as global or local settings) to the user:

1) absolute scaling
2) total history of athlete (per sport of course)
3) scale w.r.t. the active workout

3) of course means you can't compare different activities by their
colouring. But it probably gives the best visual experience (?)

matplotlib already offers legions of mappings
