+========================================
+Interactive Adjustment of Colormap Range
+========================================
+
+Demonstration of using colorbar, picker, and event functionality to make an
+interactively adjustable colorbar widget.
+
+Left clicks and drags inside the colorbar axes adjust the high range of the
+color scheme. Likewise, right clicks and drags adjust the low range. The
+connected AxesImage immediately updates to reflect the change.
