contourf & imshow logarithmic colormap

Community matplotlib-users

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to use imshow or contourf with a logarithmic
colormap. Searching the threads I've found a few queries about this before,
but not a solution. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Maybe I am not understanding correctly, but could you simply plot the log of your variable?

That is one solution, but perhaps I should have asked about a solution for contourf as well. It would be preferable to be able to use a logarithmic colormap rather than translating the variable.
