If you don't need faceting (dark edges around the bins), imshow with the extent set would be the easiest way. If you want faceting, pcolor should work as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications.
