#' Raster plot of daily streamflows
#'
#' @description Produces a raster plot: years by day of year, showing magnitude of flow. 
#' This produces a plot showing the flow data in colours, showing different context than in
#' a hydrograph. High flows are in warm colours.
#' 
#' @param DF A data frame of daily flow data as read by \code{ch_read_ECDE_flows}.
#' @param rastercolours A vector of colours used for flow magnitudes (default \code{c("lightblue","cyan", "blue", "slateblue", "orange", "red")}).
#' @param metadata A dataframe of station metadata, defaults to \code{HYDAT_list}.
#' 
#' @return No value is returned; a standard R graphic is created.
