Your message came more than a month ago, but it looks like no one answered, so here is an answer: with ipython -pylab: imshow(2*rand(10,10) - 1, vmin=-1, vmax=1) cbar = colorbar(ticks=[-1,0,1]) cbar.ax.set_yticklabels(['unstable', 'neutral', 'stable']) draw() ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
