By the way, if you are unsure about how to do this
with traditional IDL commands, this book explains
it all in detail:

I'm not trying to hide anything from you. ;-)

Sure, of course. That's what cgContour et al use. You
can roll your own. ;-)

Well, I don't know. When I run the program with the
latest Coyote Library I get this output:

Is there any other way of doing it without the cgcolorbar,
cgplots ,cg***?? Can't i just use contour and still do it? It was
working fine with contour except the colors but with the code above,
IDL gives:
% CONTOUR: Warning: Infinite plot range.
% CONTOUR: Warning: Infinite plot range.
% CONTOUR: Warning: Infinite plot range.

You could do it like this:
data = cgdemodata(2)
data = scale_vector(data, 4.0, 26.0)
levels = scale_vector(findgen(14), 4, 8)
levels = [levels, scale_vector(findgen(8), 8, 15)]
levels = levels[Uniq(levels)]
cgLoadCT, 27, NCOLORS=22, /Brewer
cgContour, data, LEVELS=levels, /Fill, C_Colors=Indgen(22), $
Position=[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.8]
cgContour, data, LEVELS=levels, /Overplot
cgColorbar, XTickV=[4, 11, 18, 25, 26], XTicks=4, $
NColors=22, RANGE=[4,26], $
TickNames=['4', '6', '8', '18', '26'], XMinor=0
END
Cheers,
David
