I have been trying to
i. plot a figure using pcolormesh

Problem is, colorbar height uses whole of axes box, not just height of
figure (whose proportions were set by call of
ax.set_aspect(aspect=2.,adjustable='box')).
I can't set the colorbar height manually either, as I don't know how
to get out the bounding box of the figure -- ax.get_position() just
gives the full axes box, which is unaffected by ax.set_aspect.
Is there any way of recovering the actual bounding box of the figure?
The docstring for the method ax.set_position says:
There are two position variables: one which is ultimately
used, but which may be modified by apply_aspect, and a second
which is the starting point for apply_aspect.
which = 'active' to change the first;
'original' to change the second;
'both' to change both
which sounds relevant, but these variables don't seem to apply to
ax.get_position()
George,
The problem with your attempt to use get_position() is that the aspect
ratio does not affect the position until the apply_aspect method of the
axes is called, which is normally when drawing occurs. You can either
call it yourself, or you can insert a draw command. Here is an example
of the first:
In [6]:pcolor(z)
Out[6]:matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection instance at 0xb3db690c
In [7]:gca().get_position()
Out[7]:[0.125, 0.099978, 0.77502,
0.80004]
In [8]:gca().set_aspect(3)
In [9]:gca().get_position()
Out[9]:[0.125, 0.099978, 0.77502,
0.80004]
In [10]:clf()
In [11]:pcolor(z)
Out[11]:matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection instance at 0xb3dc6a6c
In [12]:gca().get_position()
Out[12]:[0.125, 0.099978, 0.77502,
0.80004]
In [13]:gca().set_aspect(3)
In [14]:gca().apply_aspect()
In [15]:gca().get_position()
Out[15]:
[0.31343312597200623,
0.099978,
0.39813374805598761,
0.80004]
