[AstroPy] APLpy color bar for markers

[Thøger Emil Rivera-Thorsen]

I would do this by tapping directly into the Matplotlib/pylab api to do 
this:

|import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import aplpy as ap fig = 
ap.FITSFigure('myimage.fits') fig.show_grayscale() f, a = plt.gcf(), 
plt.gca() x, y = fig.world2pixel(ra, dec) points = a.scatter(ra, dec, 
c=velocity, cmap='rainbow') fig.colorbar(points) |

The colorbar is not as neatly aligned as the APLPy function does, but 
this can be refined and tweaked, if you read the matplotlib docs (or you 
can just use it as-is).
