You can't do this via any manipulation of the colormap, or any fancier
colormap specification--instead, you have to manipulate the data value.
For example, you could identify the "over" values in your data, and
then use 2-D interpolation to replace them with the values you want.
Basemap includes a 2-D interpolation routine:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import interp

No, because it doesn't make much sense, given the mpl paradigm in which
a colormap and a norm work together. If you want 4 colors, make a
colormap with 4 colors, and use a norm that maps your data to those 4
colors.
For example:
cm4 = get_cmap('jet', 4)
cm4a = mpl.colors.ListedColormap(get_cmap('jet', 256)([20, 70, 150, 200]))
You can select any discrete set of colors you want using ListedColormap.
Then you can use the default Normalize, or a custom BoundaryNorm, to map
data ranges to the colors. You just don't need a lookup table with 1024
entries to specify 4 colors--it doesn't gain you anything.
