mpl.colorbar¶
Colorbar toolkit with two classes and a function:
ColorbarBase- the base class with full colorbar drawing functionality. It can be used as-is to make a colorbar for a given colormap; a mappable object (e.g., image) is not needed.
Colorbar- the derived class for use with images or contour plots.
make_axes()- a function for resizing an axes and adding a second axes suitable for a colorbar
The colorbar() method uses make_axes()
and Colorbar; the colorbar() function
is a thin wrapper over colorbar().
Functions¶
colorbar_factory(cax, mappable, **kwargs) |
Creates a colorbar on the given axes for the given mappable. |
make_axes(parents[, location, orientation, ...]) |
Resize and reposition parent axes, and return a child |
make_axes_gridspec(parent, **kw) |
Resize and reposition a parent axes, and return a child axes suitable for a colorbar. |
Classes¶
Colorbar(ax, mappable, **kw) |
This class connects a ColorbarBase to a ScalarMappable such as a AxesImage generated via imshow(). |
ColorbarBase(ax[, cmap, norm, alpha, ...]) |
Draw a colorbar in an existing axes. |
ColorbarPatch(ax, mappable, **kw) |
A Colorbar which is created using Patch rather than the default pcolor(). |
xrange |
xrange(start, stop[, step]) -> xrange object |
zip |
alias of izip |
