Hi all: I'm looking for a simple way to scale a color bar so it will be the same height as the image. It seems to work automatically if the image is at least as tall as it is wide, but when it is wider than tall it seems to scale to the width rather than height. (Shouldn't the default behavior be to scale to height if the colorbar is vertical and width if its horizontal?) One approach that I found at one point was something like this: fig = plt.figure(figsize=(11,5)) cax = fig.add_axes([0.9,0.1,0.01,0.8]) # axes for colorbar ax = plt.subplot(111) im = ax.imshow(image) fig.colorbar(im,cax=cax)
but even with this method it seems that tweaking the figsize and add_axes arguments. I've also fiddled with the shrink and fraction keywords and have managed to get good results, but it seems so ad hoc. Is there a better way?
