Comment(by rbeezer):
Nice. Passes tests in the obvious directories.
Experimentally, the colorbar would appear to have a length equal to the
longest side of the plot. So in one orientation it matches the length of
the side, aesthetically pleasing. But in the other orientation it can be
grossly larger than the plot. Maybe to make sure the gradations do not
get totally smooshed together in the colormap along the short edge?
Anyway, several suggestions:
(a) Document the colorbar defaulting to length of long side.
(b) Use the right combination of max/min on matrix dimensions to provide
the right rows:columns ratio to always provide a colorbar the same length
as the matrix plot.
(c) Clearly document how to accomplish (b) with an option like
{{{colorbar_options={'shrink':0.2} }}}. which seems to be the way to
accomplish what I'd like to be easily possible.
(d) (b) and (c)
(e) None of the above.
I could contribute to the docstring if you want to go that route. But it
has to be now, not much time for this for many days to come.
