That was a tad harsh, given that the first page of google results didn't really answer the question. (If you're going to be snarky, at least make sure you're right.) Nick, this is a pretty good example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/colorbar_only.html Now, since it seems like you're learning right now, a good place to look which is better than google is searching matplotlib's docs directly: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html I was able to find that example with: codex ListedColormap (codex tells it to search examples) but that's because I knew the name of the class I was looking for. Good luck and don't get discouraged.
