pcolor doesn't seem to be using the vmin and vmax values that I supply
to it. If I do:
X,Y = meshgrid(arange(-2,2,.1), arange(-2,2,.1))
pcolor(X**2 + Y**2, vmin = 1., vmax=2.)
I see a smooth paraboloid (ie, without the min/max clipping in the
center on the edge that I would expect).
However, if I instead do:
imshow(X**2 + Y**2, vmin = 1., vmax=2.)
I see what I expect, a circular dark region, surrounded by a smoothly
varying ring, surrounded by a white area to the edge of the plot.
I'm using OS X 10.4.5, Python 2.3.5, and matplotlib 0.87. Am I doing
something wrong?
Thanks,
Greg

No, you found a bug. I have fixed it, but it may take me a little while to get it committed to svn--this will be my first commit since the switch from cvs to svn.
I will send another message shortly.

It is fixed in svn now. The relevant part is:
--- lib/matplotlib/axes.py (revision 2126)

if cmap is not None: assert(isinstance(cmap, Colormap))

self.grid(False)
x = X.compressed()
We don't want to check for norm being None, because after calling collection.set_norm, the collection's norm is *not* None, so it is always OK (and necessary, if we have provided values for vmin and vmax) to call set_clim.
