Mike,
I do apologize for that. We will have to get that fixed on the website (not
sure why it is happening). I have attached an example file for you to try.
Also, which version of matplotlib are you running? Without the error message
you are getting, it would be hard to tell you what is wrong (most likely it is
a version issue).
Ben Root
Version 0.99.1.1 installed through Synaptic package manager on system running
Ubuntu 10.04. I'd rather not attempt a fresh install from sources just yet.
Adding a colorbar alonside each map panel is possible. Anyone able to modify
that code to make that work? I'm assuming it very simple for an experienced
user. Also, is it possible to add axes_grid1.py to my directory? If I want to
get fancy in the future I will install version 1 and use axes_grid1.py.
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__
'0.99.1.1'
>>>
Forum:
Still unable to get a colorbar alongside the panels in this simple example.
One last request for assistance. Thanks.
Mike
