Hi Yagua -- this is not possible with imshow, which is for Cartesian, 
rectangular data. Maybe you could transform your data points into 
Cartesian coordinates and then use pcolor. Also, you could resample your 
data onto Cartesian coordinates using the griddata() function (see 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/mlab_api.html#matplotlib.mlab.griddata 
) and then use imshow again.
