I think this is one of those things that people often want to do, and that the only way to do it is with a GetSet loop and Format and List; basic idea is to extract each one of the values (using ForEachMember), convert it to a string using Format, then append it to a list using List and the GetSet loop. There should be examples of this sort of thing (maybe not precisely, but at least the concept of the GetSet loop) in the examples.

The color values in my image are from 0...255 but the represent 1e-16..3e-15, so what I really want to do is just label the color bar accordingly. I've realized that I probably only want a few labels (top, bottom, maybe middle) and I can do it by hand. So now the question is somewhat theoretical, but still, how would one convert a generated list of values to a list of strings? thanks, jay Donna L Gresh wrote: >without looking at it it seems that all you might need to do is feed your >list to a different input of Colorbar (there are two inputs: one for the >*locations* of the tics (a value list) and one for the labels to associate >with those locations (a string list).
