How to set color for volshow() ?

[yucornetto]

It seems that there is no "color" parameter for volshow, how could I set the volume visualization color that I want? I tried to find it out in the API documents yet find nothing...

Our team really like the look of ipyvolume and have been trying to render meteorological data with volshow, but like @yucornetto can't see a way to change the color (the default colouring makes clouds hard to visualise...). Any advice?

It is not well documented, but basically it's an rgb image you can play with, for instance:

Change the sliders and you see the rgba data change (if you reexecute the cell).
This means you can also write to the rgba property and it will be send to the frontend.

Also take a look at @GenevieveBuckley 's PR's:
https://github.com/maartenbreddels/ipyvolume/pull/186/files
https://github.com/maartenbreddels/ipyvolume/pull/178/files

Thank you for reminding me, I dropped the ball on those two. Things got stalled by my confusion about how your python and javascript components are working together.

I think it's worth persevering with #178 in particular, so I'll try to find some time. @maartenbreddels if you can clarify the function of certain parts of ipyvolume, that would be very helpful for getting this kick-started again.
