Dear Chao,
You could try this,
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# create a color bar with:
sm = plt.cm.ScalarMappable(cmap=plt.get_cmap('Reds'))
sm.set_array(range(10))
# create an horizontal colorbar and put the ticks on the top.
# in your case, you could plot colorbar on top, and tick at 'bottom'
cb = plt.colorbar(sm, orientation='horizontal', location=1.0)
cb.ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('top')
plt.show()
Another way, you could find useful a function written by Ryan May [0]
Hope that fits.
Arnaldo.
