Heatmap log-ColorScaling and ColorLimits error

I'm trying to make 2 log-scale heatmaps with the same colorbar limits.

I've called the following functions:

figure(1)
heatmap(LeftR0, 'colormap', jet, 'CellLabelFormat', '%.1e');
set(gca, 'ColorScaling', 'log');
clim([4e2, 5e7]);
set(gca, 'FontSize', 18)
set(gcf, 'Position', [100, 100, 600, 450])

which produces the attached graph and throws the following error:

"Warning: Error updating HeatmapChart.

Error setting property 'Limits' of class 'ColorBar':

Value must be a 1x2 vector of numeric type in which the second element is larger than the first."

It seems these 2 functions are incompatible and produces a flat colormap.

What would the correct functions be in order to get both custom colorbar limits and log-scale colorbar to work together?

Hi @Ryan Goul,

Could you please elaborate on how you are displaying the table?

I don't know , maybe this ??

% Create log values and generate heatmap
dim = 9; % just so the data labels show up
x = logspace(2,8,dim);
values = repmat(x',[1,2]);
figure;
hm = heatmap(values);
% Make visually clearer
hm.GridVisible = 'off';
colormap default
ax1 = gca;
ax1.XDisplayLabels = nan(length(ax1.XDisplayData),1);
ax1.YDisplayLabels = nan(length(ax1.YDisplayData),1);
% Colour bar scaling
set(gca,'ColorScaling','log') % Log scale
caxis(log([4e2 5e7]));

This worked great, thanks Mathieu.

So when 'caxis' or 'clim' function is called and the axis is in 'log-scale' it expects logarithmic scale inputs, and won't automatically scale linear inputs down.
