Hi Nico, nontheless you can use the axes-method to display your preferred labels. The colorbar has its axes as attribute 'ax' (see also my small example below): cb.ax.set_yticklabels((r'$-\pi$', '0', r'$\pi$')) Kind regards, Matthias ----------------------------------- import matplotlib as mpl mpl.rc('text', usetex=True) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np ax = plt.axes() plt.imshow(np.reshape(np.pi*np.arange(-2, 3, 0.5), (2, 5))) cb = plt.colorbar() cb.set_ticks((-np.pi, 0.0, np.pi)) cb.ax.set_yticklabels((r'$-\pi$', '0', r'$\pi$')) plt.show() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
