Alan, It sounds like what you want is a listed colormap with direct indexing using a NoNorm() instance as the norm:
aa = ones((2,3), dtype=int) aa[0,0] = 0 aa[:,2] = 2 cmap = mpl.colors.ListedColormap(['k', 'r', 'b']) norm = mpl.colors.NoNorm() matshow(aa, cmap=cmap, norm=norm, interpolation='nearest') The array has to be one of the integer dtypes. Also see examples/colorbar_only.py if you want to use a colorbar--but I suspect you won't for your present application.
