I am trying to build my own functions with matplotlib, basically I have a 2D matrix, and I would like to build it with something very similar to a heat map, but the cells are separated and recognizable. See for example:

Is that what you are after?
from pylab import * z = rand(10, 25) c = pcolor(z) set_cmap('hot') colorbar() c = pcolor(z, edgecolors='w', linewidths=1) axis([0,25,0,10]) savefig('plt.png') show()
