Example

Create a 4D series and export as PNG, using the colormap plasma:

>>> series = db.ones((128, 128, 10, 5))
>>> path = 'path\to\empty\folder'
>>> series.export_as_png(path, center=1, width=0.5, colormap='plasma')

This should create a single folder in the directory, populated with 50 PNG files.
