Yes, this is what I meant, too.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about iContour. :-)

Cheers,

I put a Small Multiples Contour Plot in the Coyote Plot Gallery to show
you how this can be done:

Maybe I did not express myself correctly...

The data are always in the range 0-1, but in some images they stop at 0.1, in other at 0.7...
And I'm using icontour, where I did not find the way to insert the levels...

Well, this is the normal way things are done. If you use
the same contour levels for each of your contour plots,
and your colorbar reflects those levels, the job is done.

What are you doing that is causing you a problem?

You can see all kinds of contour plots with color bars
in the Coyote Plot Gallery:
