Eric, I solved the problem by using vmin/vmax, masking and the heat colorbar That choice is then "self-masking" for undesired pixels left after masking and vmin/vmax
Now the thing I still have to do is smoothing scattered data, after that I'll implement it with GTK or any other windowing system and when it is finished I'll provide it to the community for example purpose In fact I'm not demanding for code or so, but for method names which could help me do what I need, with code examples for instance The source code is the same as the one posted initially in that mail, except the masked array which is, I think, straightforward for most of you Now I have scattered data on my map, antialiased and so, but it still needs some smoothing as it still looks very pixelated (that is due to the satellite coverage) The image generated is here: http://www.kirikoo.net/images/5shrad-20080917-102544.png Also, I couldn't find any way to reduce the colorbar font size Do you know of any ways to achieve these goals?

Perhaps by modifying one of the standard mpl examples, such as image_masked.py? From what you have said, I would expect that some combination of masking, using vmin and vmax, and using the special value colors, would work adequately with the present colorbar.
