Should LinearColormap.to_step(n=1) create a one-step colormap?

LinearColormap(...).to_step(n=1) raises a ZeroDivisionError.

In map/choropleth workflows, after filtering or classification, there may be only one bucket/class to display, and a one-step colormap seems semantically reasonable.

Currently, we get:

ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

The API says n is the expected number of colors in the output StepColormap. When no index/data is supplied it constructs a regular grid from n; later, it computes colors using n - 1.0, which fails at n=1.

Possibilities:

• Could to_step(n=1) to return a StepColormap with one color/bin?
• Or should n <= 1 be explicitly rejected with a clear ValueError?
• Or a mention in the docs stating that callers need to special-case single-class data?

Comienza en branca/colormap.py alrededor de LinearColormap.to_step, donde el cálculo n - 1.0 falla para n=1, y reproduce el fallo del issue. Determina el comportamiento previsto para un único paso a partir de la API existente y de las pruebas circundantes; se considerará terminado cuando el comportamiento elegido esté implementado, claramente especificado y cubierto por una prueba de regresión.
