You don't really want 95 contour levels, do you? Instead of using set_clim, set the contour levels you want, and I suspect everything will come out OK. E.g., pylab.contourf(x,y,z,pylab.linspace(160, 500, 18)) Eric > mycontour.set_clim(vmin=160, vmax=500) > mycbar=pylab.colorbar() > mycbar.set_clim(vmin=160, vmax=500) > pylab.xlim((17,19.6)) > pylab.show() > > > However, the behavior is rather unexpected for me.
