John, Attached is a script illustrating how to make contourf plots with a log colorscale. I made some improvements in svn, as noted in the script, but you can still do it with the regular mpl release. All of this should carry through to basemap with no changes in basemap. Eric John wrote:

John, We actually have the facility for using a log color scale directly, including handling out-of-range values, but I confess I am having a little trouble with it. I can't pursue it right now, but probably can do so this evening. It looks like the problem is a bug, but I am not sure. Eric

I would like to mimic their layout as much as possible, which so far is a success. The only problem is that I don't know what font to use. In IDL, I beli

That is one solution, but perhaps I should have asked about a solution for contourf as well. It would be preferable to be able to use a logarithmic colormap rather than translating the variable. - This SF.net email is sponsored
