Hi,
the example works if you follow the text in the error message which
states that the input offsets of the colormap must be a multiple of your
meshwidth, configured as [5pt] in your example.
The colorbar compiles fine with the following slightly adopted offsets
\pgfplotsset{
colormap={myNewColor}{[5pt]
rgb255(0pt)=(255,0,0);
rgb255(510pt)=(0,255,10);
rgb255(550pt)=(0,255,0);
rgb255(790pt)=(100,255,0);
rgb255(1000pt)=(0,0,255)}
}
You could add data points at 505pt or 785pt if you want discontinuous
color transitions. Is that what you mean by "non-linear colormap"?
Kind regards
Christian
