ok, it works fine for that case.
Now, my problem is that my graph is a subplot:
Taking your example it corresponds to :
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.gcf()
plt.subplot(2,2,2)
data = np.random.randn(30,30)
plt.pcolor(data)
fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.85)
ax = fig.add_axes([0.12, 0.9, 0.8, 0.05])
plt.colorbar(cax=ax, orientation='horizontal')
plt.show()
Obviously, the colorbar has now the length of the whole figure and not
the one
of the subplot ! :-(
I should do a "subplots_adjust" to the subplot and not to the "fig", but
how can I do that ?
Thanks,
