Hello, I'm trying to find a way to use imshow or contourf with a logarithmic colormap. Searching the threads I've found a few queries about this before, but not a solution. Any suggestions?

That is one solution, but perhaps I should have asked about a solution for contourf as well. It would be preferable to be able to use a logarithmic colormap rather than translating the variable.
