I usually use something similar to 
http://paste.yt-project.org/show/3816/
to use yt to bin the data then use matplotlib to make the plot of the 2D profile for more customization options.
If you compare the test1.....png and test2.png, you should see they are using the same data range, the 2D profile is transposed to switch x,y and origin set at (0,0).

hope it's something you can use.

Hi Matt,

so if I just read in data filename like:

do j=1,50
do i=1,50
     read(1,*)column(i),row(j),Z(j,i)
enddo
enddo

will that correct Z exactly?
