### Proposed new feature or change
In the standalone viewer (the one invoked with `open3d draw some_pointcloud.pcd`), it would be nice to have the option to color the points based on the custom fields the point cloud may have (e.g. the intensity).
### References
This is a basic implementation I did in python:
```
source_attribute = source_temp.point["intensity"].numpy().flatten()
max_tot = max(source_attribute)
source_attribute = source_attribute / max_tot
colors_map = cm.get_cmap('jet', 256)
source_colors = colors_map(source_attribute)
source_temp_legacy.colors = o3d.utility.Vector3dVector(source_colors[:, :3])
```
