How to set same scale for contourf subplots?

Dear all,

I have a subplot with 3 rows and 2 columns. Each panel is a 2D filled contour plot prepared using the contourf function. I would like to set the same colour scale for each subplot so that a single colorbar can be used for all of them. How can I ensure that the data is always plotted using the same scale even if the range of z is different for each subplot? I have tried specifying a vector argument using the 'LevelList' property but this doesn't seem to work.

Use the same caxis

caxis([min max])

And yes, you may also want to use the same levellist.
