That's a shame. Oh well.

Great, that's better. I don't mind changing the syntax at all.

By the way, DensityPlot works a lot better than ContourPlot for the
colorbar :) that was my mistake as I'd started out with Contours
instead of gradients before realising (a) gradients look a bit nicer
for what I'm doing, and (b) contours are harder to label.

Is it usual practise to put little functions like this up in Wolfram's
Mathematica library
