Yeah, I don't think you can blame the color bar for that.
It pretty much just does what you tell it to do. It's more
like a well-trained dog than it is like a wife who is
smarter than you and knows what you mean to say, rather
than what you actually say. :-)
Cheers,
David

Wow, I get the man himself! The ideal person to help me set it up
correctly.
I've read that article and I don't have the black line in my
colorbar. The "wonky" part of my plots is that the color is shifted
in the plot. If you take a look at this plot (http://
brutus.uwaterloo.ca/~rchughes/misc/snrvscoldst2008.jpg) you'll see
that the cyan (or hotter) doesn't always line up with the "V" dip in
the plot. This is indirectly showing satellite orbital geometry which
is quite predictable and these values don't make much sense.
As I was waiting for a reply to my post, I was working on something
else which could be the problem. From this it looks like it could be
a misalignment of data in my input arrays. I'm using where() to
remove some points with no data and it looks like the 'dates' array
got handled differently. Which makes sense from the plot because more
data points in the dates array would lead to this problem.
David, thanks for looking it over and for a great IDL library.

I would specify this structure like this:
colorbardetails = create_struct( $
'vertical', 1, $
'right', 1, $
'bottom', 0, $
'ncolors', 250, $
'annotatecolor', "black", $
'range', [tmin, tmax] $
)
Cheers,
David

I'm not sure what "wonky" means in this context, but
I would certainly change the "color" parameter to
"annotatecolor", otherwise you might see a black
color in your color bar.

Is that what "wonky" means?

David
