Furthermore, I think there is some work being done to add functionality to the Norm to allow specifying a middle value along with a vmin and a vmax.

Reminder: in matplotlib, color mapping is done with the combination of a
colormap and a norm. This allows one to design a norm to handle the
mapping, including any nonlinearity or difference between the handling
of positive and negative values. This is more general than customizing
a colormap; once you have a norm to suit your purpose, you can use it
with any colormap.
Maybe this is actually what you are already doing, but I wanted to point
it out here in case some readers are not familiar with this
colormap+norm strategy.</pre>

Actually, I didn't use norms because I never quite figured out how
to use them or how to make my own. If there's a way to create a norm
with a custom mid-point, I'd love to know/use that.<br>

Not to plug one of my own answers to much, but here's a basic example. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20144529/shifted-colorbar-matplotlib I've been meeting to submit a PR with a more full featured version for a few years now, but haven't.

This is great, but it has a slightly bothersome side effect on the
colorbar ticks. In your original example, I changed the line 'data =
10 * (data - 0.8)' to 'data = 10 * (data - 0.85)', so that the
numbers are now in between -8.5 and +1.5. As a result, when the
colorbar is drawn, you get a tick at -8, as well as one at -9
(similarly at +1 and +2). Example attached. As in, the colorbar
method seems intent on adding those tick marks at -9 and +2. The
result is not aesthetically pleasing.<br>
<br>
In one of my real-data example, the minimum value of the data
happened to be -4.003, and as a result there was a tick label at -4
and an overlapping tick label at -5. Why does this happen only when
I specify 'norm' in imshow? How do I get matplotlib to not do that?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
