Set distance between the ticks in the colorbar

Hello,

I have created a contour map and a colorbar with manual ticks. The issue is with the ticks vector.

In the 1st figure, the values are equally spaced. Hence the ticks align with colors properly.

In the 2nd figure, the vectors are not spaced uequally for the 1st two and last two values. Hence, it does not align with colors.

PS: The number of colors and vector values is proper. Issue lies with the aligning only.

You'll need to assign the tick values and tick labels separately. Get the spacing right with the tick values and then assign a label for each tick.

Hi Adam,

I have tried to put tick labels separately. But they also were put at the same locations, as the ticks. And not at equal distances throughout the colorbar.

Can you illustrate the above with an example?

The tick labels will always be at the location of the ticks. That's why you have to calculate the position of the ticks correctly.

Here's an example
