Maybe the docstrings make it sound more complicated than it really is. In your case you have an array of rectangles, not general quadrilaterals. All you need are two 1-D arrays, one each for the x and y grid boundaries. Something like this: Z = numpy.random.rand(60,4000) X = numpy.arange(4001) Y = numpy.array([0, 1.4] + [1.0]*9 + [0.5]*40 + [1]*9 + [1.4]).cumsum() pcolor(X, Y, Z) pcolormesh should work the same, but when I try it now with svn it doesn't; I don't know what is going on with it. If you are using a release version of mpl, I expect it will work.
