I'm wanting to plot an image that is logarithmically scaled, and I'd like
to have the associated colorbar ticks be logarithmic. So, for example, say
img is the image
fig,ax = plt.subplots()
cax = ax.imshow(np.log10(img))
fig.colorbar(cax)
gives me a colorbar with the tick labels with values that are the
log10(img) values, whereas I want the colorbar to be labeled with a
logarithmic axis and the img values. How could I do that? Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Demonstration of using norm to map colormaps onto data in non-linear ways.

Lognorm: Instead of pcolor log10(Z1) you can have colorbars that have
the exponential labels using a norm.
'''
N = 100
X, Y = np.mgrid[-3:3:complex(0, N), -2:2:complex(0, N)]
# A low hump with a spike coming out of the top right. Needs to have
# z/colour axis on a log scale so we see both hump and spike. linear
# scale only shows the spike.
Z1 = bivariate_normal(X, Y, 0.1, 0.2, 1.0, 1.0) + \
0.1 * bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
pcm = ax[1].pcolor(X, Y, Z1, cmap='PuBu_r')
fig.colorbar(pcm, ax=ax[1], extend='max')
fig.show()
This is not part of the release docs, but is on master, so should be available soon. But basically you want to use `norm=colors.LogNorm()`
Cheers, Jody
