Hi All,
I'm new to the list, and have hit a snag that I can't find an answer for in
the Cookbook or Gallery. Basically, I would like to define a color bar that
is valid for a range of 0 - 10, but only display the range that is being
mapped, say 5 - 7.
Is this possible?
Below is the code that I'm using.
Thanks,
Roger
