Hello, I have a quick question for you.
I was trying to make a color and contour plot. But the problem is that
the matplot defaults the colors from the dark to light for the contour
values from minimum to maximum, is there any way or commands to reverse
this order? I mean the dark color for maximum value and light color for
minimum.
Thank you so much!

Teng: Simply append '_r' to the colormap name to get the colors reversed (e.g. cmap = pylab.cm.hot_r instead of pylab.cm.hot).

Jeff,
This "_r" command seems not work well. Let me show you the full
line of that color map plot,
--------------------------------------
contourf(X, Y, Z, v1, cmap=cm.pink)
--------------------------------------
By the way, Jeff, do you know how to make the cmap explicitly defined,
like in GNUPLOT,
----------------------------------------------------------------
set palette defined (0.004 "white", 0.17 "brown", 0.28 "black")
----------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so much!

Have you tried
contourf(X, Y, Z, v1, cmap=cm.pink_r)
