The simplest way is to use the same array of contour levels for both. Here is a simplest-possible code fragment to illustrate: from pylab import * F = 6 * (rand(20,20) - 0.5) G = 8 * (rand(20,20) - 0.5) clevs = arange(-5,6) subplot(2,1,1) contourf(F, clevs) colorbar() subplot(2,1,2) contourf(G, clevs) colorbar() show() For additional information: 1) In the matplotlib examples directory, look for all the examples that use contourf. 2) Look at the contourf (and other) docstrings. If you are not already using ipython, get it and try it--it makes the experimentation and learning much easier.
