Méthode matplotlib.figure.FigureBase.colorbar

Signature de la méthode colorbar

def colorbar(self, mappable, cax=None, ax=None, use_gridspec=True, **kw) 

Description

colorbar.__doc__

Add a colorbar to a plot.

Parameters
----------
mappable
    The `matplotlib.cm.ScalarMappable` (i.e., `~matplotlib.image.AxesImage`,
    `~matplotlib.contour.ContourSet`, etc.) described by this colorbar.
    This argument is mandatory for the `.Figure.colorbar` method but optional
    for the `.pyplot.colorbar` function, which sets the default to the current
    image.

    Note that one can create a `.ScalarMappable` "on-the-fly" to generate
    colorbars not attached to a previously drawn artist, e.g. ::

        fig.colorbar(cm.ScalarMappable(norm=norm, cmap=cmap), ax=ax)

cax : `~matplotlib.axes.Axes`, optional
    Axes into which the colorbar will be drawn.

ax : `~matplotlib.axes.Axes`, list of Axes, optional
    One or more parent axes from which space for a new colorbar axes will be
    stolen, if *cax* is None.  This has no effect if *cax* is set.

use_gridspec : bool, optional
    If *cax* is ``None``, a new *cax* is created as an instance of Axes.  If
    *ax* is an instance of Subplot and *use_gridspec* is ``True``, *cax* is
    created as an instance of Subplot using the :mod:`~.gridspec` module.

Returns
-------
colorbar : `~matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar`
    See also its base class, `~matplotlib.colorbar.ColorbarBase`.

Notes
-----
Additional keyword arguments are of two kinds:

  axes properties:

    location : None or {'left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom'}
        The location, relative to the parent axes, where the colorbar axes
        is created.  It also determines the *orientation* of the colorbar
        (colorbars on the left and right are vertical, colorbars at the top
        and bottom are horizontal).  If None, the location will come from the
        *orientation* if it is set (vertical colorbars on the right, horizontal
        ones at the bottom), or default to 'right' if *orientation* is unset.
    orientation : None or {'vertical', 'horizontal'}
        The orientation of the colorbar.  It is preferable to set the *location*
        of the colorbar, as that also determines the *orientation*; passing
        incompatible values for *location* and *orientation* raises an exception.
    fraction : float, default: 0.15
        Fraction of original axes to use for colorbar.
    shrink : float, default: 1.0
        Fraction by which to multiply the size of the colorbar.
    aspect : float, default: 20
        Ratio of long to short dimensions.


    pad : float, default: 0.05 if vertical, 0.15 if horizontal
        Fraction of original axes between colorbar and new image axes.
    anchor : (float, float), optional
        The anchor point of the colorbar axes.
        Defaults to (0.0, 0.5) if vertical; (0.5, 1.0) if horizontal.
    panchor : (float, float), or *False*, optional
        The anchor point of the colorbar parent axes. If *False*, the parent
        axes' anchor will be unchanged.
        Defaults to (1.0, 0.5) if vertical; (0.5, 0.0) if horizontal.

  colorbar properties:


    ============  ====================================================
    Property      Description
    ============  ====================================================
    *extend*      {'neither', 'both', 'min', 'max'}
                  If not 'neither', make pointed end(s) for out-of-
                  range values.  These are set for a given colormap
                  using the colormap set_under and set_over methods.
    *extendfrac*  {*None*, 'auto', length, lengths}
                  If set to *None*, both the minimum and maximum
                  triangular colorbar extensions with have a length of
                  5% of the interior colorbar length (this is the
                  default setting). If set to 'auto', makes the
                  triangular colorbar extensions the same lengths as
                  the interior boxes (when *spacing* is set to
                  'uniform') or the same lengths as the respective
                  adjacent interior boxes (when *spacing* is set to
                  'proportional'). If a scalar, indicates the length
                  of both the minimum and maximum triangular colorbar
                  extensions as a fraction of the interior colorbar
                  length. A two-element sequence of fractions may also
                  be given, indicating the lengths of the minimum and
                  maximum colorbar extensions respectively as a
                  fraction of the interior colorbar length.
    *extendrect*  bool
                  If *False* the minimum and maximum colorbar extensions
                  will be triangular (the default). If *True* the
                  extensions will be rectangular.
    *spacing*     {'uniform', 'proportional'}
                  Uniform spacing gives each discrete color the same
                  space; proportional makes the space proportional to
                  the data interval.
    *ticks*       *None* or list of ticks or Locator
                  If None, ticks are determined automatically from the
                  input.
    *format*      None or str or Formatter
                  If None, `~.ticker.ScalarFormatter` is used.
                  If a format string is given, e.g., '%.3f', that is used.
                  An alternative `~.ticker.Formatter` may be given instead.
    *drawedges*   bool
                  Whether to draw lines at color boundaries.
    *label*       str
                  The label on the colorbar's long axis.
    ============  ====================================================

    The following will probably be useful only in the context of
    indexed colors (that is, when the mappable has norm=NoNorm()),
    or other unusual circumstances.

    ============   ===================================================
    Property       Description
    ============   ===================================================
    *boundaries*   None or a sequence
    *values*       None or a sequence which must be of length 1 less
                   than the sequence of *boundaries*. For each region
                   delimited by adjacent entries in *boundaries*, the
                   colormapped to the corresponding value in values
                   will be used.
    ============   ===================================================



If *mappable* is a `~.contour.ContourSet`, its *extend* kwarg is included
automatically.

The *shrink* kwarg provides a simple way to scale the colorbar with respect
to the axes. Note that if *cax* is specified, it determines the size of the
colorbar and *shrink* and *aspect* kwargs are ignored.

For more precise control, you can manually specify the positions of
the axes objects in which the mappable and the colorbar are drawn.  In
this case, do not use any of the axes properties kwargs.

It is known that some vector graphics viewers (svg and pdf) renders white gaps
between segments of the colorbar.  This is due to bugs in the viewers, not
Matplotlib.  As a workaround, the colorbar can be rendered with overlapping
segments::

    cbar = colorbar()
    cbar.solids.set_edgecolor("face")
    draw()

However this has negative consequences in other circumstances, e.g. with
semi-transparent images (alpha < 1) and colorbar extensions; therefore, this
workaround is not used by default (see issue #1188).
