Hi Eric!
Are you sure you want a colorbar with lines and not a legend?
Well, I've got a couple of lines (~50) and thus the legend would become
confusing.
I wanted to have lines in the colorbar because I think it's more adequate to
have lines in the bar when there are lines in the plot.
A colorbar with lines only, matching a LineCollection, can be done with

Thanks for the hint! I was quite simple, I made a call to
pylab.colorbar(filled=False)
which gave me an empty colorbar. Then I add lines to this instance:
colorbar.ColorbarBase.add_lines(cbar, myrange, linecl.get_colors(),
linecl.get_linewidth())
Thanks! Bernhard
