Hi Jody,
Thanks for the pointer. It looks like that should work nicely. I am
curious though if there isn't a more general way to provide the data to be
used for a colorbar without creating a plot. I guess you always need to
provide an Axes object.

Hi all,
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--
