Hi Jeff,

I have the same problem of making a color-coded temperature map of a
2-dimmensional area. For this purpose I have writen a routine making a
contour plot overlaying a color image ov the data (TVSCL). On the levt
side a color bar is plotted. If you like you could have a copy of this.
It is pretty much independend and works even in a !p.multi environment.
Besides you could have four x,y axes, postscript plots,..... But simply
looking at the code will make you understand the way of producing color
bars. Unfortunately it is not thoroughly documented, but you will
understand.
