I have a bit progress, but still not very well. #to have a contourf plot a = np.arange(100).reshape(10,10) cbarlevel=np.arange(0,101,10) contourf(a,levels=cbarlevel) cbar = colorbar() cbar.set_ticks(cbarlevel)
#to manipulate the range: cbar_label = [] for i in range(len(cbarlevel)-1): cbar_label.append("{0}-{1}".format(cbarlevel[i],cbarlevel[i+1])) cbar_label.append('') In [54]: print cbar_label ['0-10', '10-20', '20-30', '30-40', '40-50', '50-60', '60-70', '70-80', '80-90', '90-100', ''] #Then to apply on the colorbar: cbar.set_ticklabels(cbar_label) The generated figure is attached. But how can I put the labels a little bit upward to make them parallel with the respective small rectangles in the colorbar? <http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/file/n39786/fig.jpg> -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/how-to-put-colorbar-label-beside-the-handle-tp39705p39786.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
