Re: [Matplotlib-users] dynamic colorbar

[Darren D. <dd...@co...>]

I am making graphics of some topographical images. Something simple like:

from pylab import *
z=rand(256,256)
figure(figsize=(4,3)) 
a1=axes([.1,.1,.7,.85]) 
a2=axes([.85,.1,.05,.85]) 
a2.yaxis.tick_right() 
a2.xaxis.set_ticks([])

a1.imshow(z,cmap=cm.bone,extent=(0,1,0,1))
colorbar('%1.1e',cax=a2)

show()

I am getting the jet colormap in the colorbar, is it possible to change it 
manually?
