For the plot itself you can use pcolor if your data are on a quadrilateral grid, or a PathCollection or PolyCollection otherwise. For the legend, you can use proxy artists: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/legend_guide.html#using-proxy-artist Eric > > Thanks > > Mat > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
