deal with it, try setting that color through the set_under() method.The correct
way to do this is to use set_bad, but convert your numpy array that you are
displaying into a masked array like so:z_ma = np.ma.masked_array(z, mask=(z ==
-999))and use contourf on z_ma.Let us know how that works for you.Ben Root

Hi !
I have had the same issue (set_bad not taking effect with nans), and
transformed
the data into a masked array. But it does not seem to work...
Here a minimal example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.clf()
x = np.linspace(-180,180,100)
y = np.linspace(-90,90,100)
x, y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
data = np.cos(x/180*np.pi) + np.sin(y/180*np.pi)
data[(y<50)&(y>30)&(x<50)&(x>30)] = np.nan
data = np.ma.masked_array(data, mask = np.isnan(data)) # has no effect
ncol = 20
cbar = [-1,1]
palette = plt.cm.Blues
palette.set_bad('green')
palette.set_over('red')
palette.set_under('black')
cs = plt.contourf(x,y,data,np.linspace(cbar[0],cbar[1],ncol), cmap=palette,
extend='both')
plt.colorbar()
cs.set_clim(cbar) # need that for set_upper and set_lower to take effect
plt.show()
There is already that small bug where one needs to call set_clim for set_upper
and set_lower, maybe something similar is needed for set_bad?
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Mahe
