Re: [Matplotlib-users] How can I put a white area in the middle of colorbar showing the masked data?
Maybe I understand what he means. How can a user override some value in a
colormap? Lets say, in general user wants to inherit some ready made colormap
but in addition wants to force certain colors to some data items.

I don't understand what feature you are referring to; evidently I don't

It's not the answer you want to hear, but I think the correct answer is
that you should do this via the colormap, and not by masking the low
values. It doesn't have to be painful. If, in contourf, you use a
diverging colormap with white already in the middle
(http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/colormaps_reference.html) and a
norm with symmetric limits (vmin and vmax; you can let them be set
automatically after you specify your symmetric set of contour
boundaries
appropriately) then it will be done for you.
e.g.,
z = 10 * np.random.randn(20, 30)
clevs = [-10, -5, -2, -1, 1, 2, 5, 10]
cs = plt.contourf(z, levels=clevs, cmap=plt.get_cmap('PRGn'),
extend='both')
cbar = plt.colorbar(cs, spacing='uniform')

Dear all, In many cases in geoscience mapping we want to show the some missing values as some special color in the colorbar. like attached one.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How can I put a white area in the middle of colorbar showing the masked data?
Hi Eric,
thanks for answering. I updated the attached figure.
The idea is, we want to show the tree cover difference, but to make
the negative and positive values very contrastive, we would like to
assign the values falling in small range of change (in the figure, it's -1
to 1)
as blank (or gray), in order to make the remaining data constrasting
different.
The most correct way might be to design a new colormap with white color
exactly in the middle, however this is very tedious, especially if I want
to try
different colormaps. so the alternative approach would be to set the values
falling in (-1,1) as being masked, so they will be the same as the axes
background color as you mentioned (in our case it's white). My question is,
how can I put this background color (which shows maksed data) in the
colorbar,
by avoiding design a new colormap?
Then I notice in the colormap methos there is one called set_bad, I guess
this
is for this purpose, as in the case of set_over and set_under, which
will
influence the colors in the colorbar when you later call the colorbar
method.
But is it not like this?
I invented an example like below:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mat
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
data = np.random.random(1).reshape(100,100) - 0.5
data_masked = np.ma.masked_inside(data,-0.05,0.05)
cmap = mat.cm.jet
cmap.set_bad('0.5')
fig,ax = plt.subplots(1,1)
lev = [-0.5,-0.4,-0.3,-0.2,-0.1,-0.05,0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5]
cas = ax.contourf(data_masked,levels=lev,cmap=cmap)
plt.colorbar(cas,ticks=lev)
In this example, how can I make the colors between -0.05 to 0.05 as white,
if I don't want to bother write a new colormap.
Thanks a lot for your time, I hope this case could be useful for others as I
am sure it's very widely used in geographic related sciences.
Cheers,
Chao
