Greetings Greetings,
the labels on my colorbar do not correspond to the tickmarks!!
Here is what I am writing:
colorbar, ncolors=256, bottom=3, divisions=lev-1, ticknames=round
(levelsA/fraction),range=[minrho,maxrho],format='(I4)', position =
pos, color=black, charsize=0.5
and the plot I get has the labels starting at around the third
tickmark and continuing past the edge of the colorbar! So, in effect,
it looks like the ticknames are all shifted to the right.
Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance
B

Why not? You could make good money out of that, I am sure ;-)

Man oh man, I've been feelin' the POWER the past couple of
days! Don't even have to know what the problem is, just
bring it on down to the front here and offer it up. Let me
lay my proverbial hands on you, oh sinner.

Ahh David, it was just dry fire when you said you would be leaving
this group!
And I didn't bother describing more of the variables because i figured
they
were not important.
AND, what do you mean "how could we possibly debug this for you"? You
just did!
It was the ticknames. I thought it would be numerical values! ... You
do say: "TICKNAMES: A string array of names or values for the tick
marks." but i immediately read it as "A string of names or
values (numerical) for the tick marks.
Anyways, thank you kindly!

Pilot error. :-)
I see a couple of errors right off the bat. (1) The Ticknames
keyword requires a string, and you are passing integers, and (2)
The Color keyword requires a string, and I doubt this is what
you are passing it.
As to the rest, we don't know what any of the variables are!!
How could we possibly debug this for you!?
But, given what I see, pilot error is the most likely cause
of your problems.
Cheers,
David
