The tick locator and tick formatter needs to be passed during the colorbar creation. Otherwise, it gets very tricky to deal with. This is because the data coordinate of the colorbar axes is not directly associated with the ticklabels. If passing the formatter during the colorbar creation has no effect, this should be filed as a bug. Please post a small standalone example that reproduces your problem. Also, please report your version of matplotlib. If you're using older version, I recommend you to test it with newer version. Just in case, my quick test worked fine. imshow([[1,2],[2,3]]) cb=colorbar(format=r"$%2.1f\%%$") -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
