[Matplotlib-users] colorbar label every level

[James B. <bo...@ll...>]

I am using the colorbar with a discrete set of intervals, the  
progression through the levels is not linear.
Presently, the colorbar call labels every other level, this looks  
very nice,  but unfortunately in my case one cannot infer the value  
of the unlabeled levels due to the non-linear scale.
Is there any easy way to force a label for every level ?
I am aware of the ticker - Locator, Formatter mechanism but I am  
looking for a very simple solution. If not I'll just do it.

Thanks for any help.

Jim,

Try the ticks=blist kwarg, where blist is the list of boundaries that 
you want labeled.

The ticks kwarg can specify either a sequence or a Locator; if no ticks 
kwarg is given then a default Locator is used.
