Thanks, will change to do that instead. I'd just thought there may be a way to do it with cgcolourbar, as the image was from the help page for that routine?

But how do I align the labels (e.g. 'Jan', 'Feb',...) in the middle of the boxes, rather than along the divisions between boxes (like shown on the top example of the page).
