put labels inside colorbar

Hello everybody

I would like to write the labels of my colorbar inside the colorbar itself.

So, in other words, to put the numbers -0.4 -0.2 0 0.2 ecc...inside the colorbar (which has a colormap hot, high to right in the image):

Could anyone help me?

Thanks so much!

Just add tick labels to the colorbar:

plot(rand(1,5));
h = colorbar('northoutside');
h.TickLabels = { -.4 -.3 -.2 -.1 0 .1 .2 .3 .4};

Hei. Sorry, probably I didn't explain my issue properly....

I don't want jus to add tick labels (which are already present), but to move them inside the colorbar and not outside.

So I want to draw the number (0.2 0.4 ecc) in the colored field.

Do you know any tips or method about it?

thanks so much!

Hmm, my misunderstanding. I don't think that's possible unless you put together some klugy glue-code that writes text directly in the figure window.
