It is possible to do
import plopp as pp
da = pp.data.data1d(masks=True)
da.plot(vmax=1.0, mask_color='red')
and
import plopp as pp
da = pp.data.data2d(masks=True)
da.plot(vmax=1.0, mask_cmap='red')
but this is missing from the docs.
Also, maybe there should be two arguments for 2d images, mask_cmap and mask_color, instead of using mask_cmap for both cases, as it's rather confusing.
