Source code for matplotlib.colorbar

"""
Colorbars are a visualization of the mapping from scalar values to colors.
In Matplotlib they are drawn into a dedicated `~.axes.Axes`.

.. note::
   Colorbars are typically created through `.Figure.colorbar` or its pyplot
   wrapper `.pyplot.colorbar`, which use `.make_axes` and `.Colorbar`
   internally.

   As an end-user, you most likely won't have to call the methods or
   instantiate the classes in this module explicitly.

:class:`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.

:class:`Colorbar`
    On top of `.ColorbarBase` this connects the colorbar with a
    `.ScalarMappable` such as an image or contour plot.

:func:`make_axes`
    Create an `~.axes.Axes` suitable for a colorbar. This functions can be
    used with figures containing a single axes or with freely placed axes.

:func:`make_axes_gridspec`
    Create a `~.SubplotBase` suitable for a colorbar. This function should
    be used for adding a colorbar to a `.GridSpec`.

"""

docstring.interpd.update(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:
%s
%s
  colorbar properties:
%s

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).

[docs]class ColorbarBase: r""" Draw a colorbar in an existing axes. There are only some rare cases in which you would work directly with a `.ColorbarBase` as an end-user. Typically, colorbars are used with `.ScalarMappable`\s such as an `.AxesImage` generated via `~.axes.Axes.imshow`. For these cases you will use `.Colorbar` and likely create it via `.pyplot.colorbar` or `.Figure.colorbar`. The main application of using a `.ColorbarBase` explicitly is drawing colorbars that are not associated with other elements in the figure, e.g. when showing a colormap by itself. If the *cmap* kwarg is given but *boundaries* and *values* are left as None, then the colormap will be displayed on a 0-1 scale. To show the under- and over-value colors, specify the *norm* as:: norm=colors.Normalize(clip=False) To show the colors versus index instead of on the 0-1 scale, use:: norm=colors.NoNorm() Useful public methods are :meth:`set_label` and :meth:`add_lines`.
