Description
I am trying to get equal-sized color rectangles with -L option and and the same time
add general annotation (like "Magnetic field") to the color scale. However nothing
is plotted if -L and -B are used at the same time.
It did work before in 4x, but does not work now in GMT 5.1.1
Apparently -B does not give the same behavior as -L - it gives annotation based on values,
not on colors, and is not working for non-linear color scales.
Test script is attached
Note that cpt file is not linear.
my.cpt - CPT file to be used (602 Bytes)
psscale_test.sh 
- script to create 3 ps files
(560 Bytes)
ps1.png - first (converted to PNG) Everything is OK, but no annotation (5.76 KB)
ps3.png - last (third) annotation in place, but not what is needed. (3.93 KB)

Because of under-the-hood changes to the -B machinery, the test in GMT 4 that disallows -L and -B (if -B tries to set intervals) did not translate cleanly and thus triggered even though just axis labels were specified. I changed that to only object if intervals were specified, so now seems to work as in GMT4. Please try; in r13299.
