adjust colorbar axis in color plot

Nachiketa — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:40:22 -0400

can anyone tell me how to specify how to specify the scale in the color-bar instead of the default-regular scale.

Ex:
>>caxis([-500,500])

then it gives -500,0,500

but I want to set axis like this, with different colors:
-500,-300,-150,-50,0,50,150,300,500

can anyone suggest me what should I use, which function...or anything that solves my problem....

Thanks in advance:-)

help colorbar
if it is a countor plot something like this
your_level_lst=[-500,-300,-150,-50,0,50,150,300,500]; [Cctrl,Hctrl]=contourf(Xg,Yg,dispersion,'levellistmode','manual','levellist',your_level_lst,'linestyle','-');
