How to set a value range for predefined colormap?

Hi!

I want to use a contourf plot with colormap winter. The result is that every plot shows the full color range even it shows just small values. If I want to show one colorbar for two plots with different values I have to set a fixed range of values. I would like to set like 0 is the lowest value (in 'winter' blue) and 20 (in 'winter' yellow) the highest. If one of the plots show maximum values of 5 there shouldn't be any yellow color.

Kind regards

Andreas

Set the caxis:

caxis([0,20])

Note that colormaps do NOT have values associated with them, they are simply a collection of colors in an array.

Thanks! I knew caxis before, but I used it in the wrong order. Now it works!
