Mike,
Try using the axes_grid1 toolkit to produce your axes objects and to allocate
enough room for colorbars.

P.S. - a little history, there used to be an axes_grid toolkit, but has since
been superseded by axes_grid1.
Clicking on source code on that page produces an error. For several of the
graphic on that page, dropping the code into a file and running also produces
various errors. Being new to this software, having a specific example that I
can run and then incorporate into my code would be a big help.
