[Matplotlib-users] LinearSegmentedColormap, Normalize, and colorbar

2010-12-08 Thread Timothy W. Hilton
Hello, I'm trying to teach myself to create custom colormaps to highlight certain aspects of a dataset I am working with. The script below produces two plots -- the first shows a 4x4 array foo of random floats between 0.0 and 1.0, and the second shows the same array, but normalized such that [foo
