Dear all

Is it possible to create a colorbar using the pcolor o imagesc functions where the values in the colorbar increase not following a linear progression? I mean, if I have for instance a chlorophyll concentration image and I have its values clustered between 0-1, 1-10 and 10-100, I would like to have the colorbar going from 0 to 1, then from 1 to 10 and finally from 10 to 100 (rather than having a normal one going from 1 to 100 that wouldn't allow to notice differences for concentrations relatively close).

Thanks in advance
