It is hard to tell, with the detail you have given,
exactly what you are trying to do here, but it sounds
like a filled contour plot of data that has NANs in it.
I think the white blank space is actually coming about
from *not* setting the NAN keyword on the MIN and MAX
functions that are used to calculate the contour
intervals. (At least if you are using the code on
my web page.)
If you were doing this correctly the NAN values would
assume the same color as the surrounding pixels that
were good values, and you should see broken contour
lines on your plot, etc. In other words, the NANs
should just be ignored.
I don't think there is an easy way to set these
values to a specific color. And no way to set them
to a specific color that doesn't look artificial and
clunky.
Cheers,
David
