The `.append_axes` method of the `.AxesDivider` can then be used to create a new axes on a given side ("top", "right", "bottom", or "left") of the original axes. This example uses `.append_axes` to add colorbars next to axes. .. image:: /gallery/axes_grid1/images/sphx_glr_demo_colorbar_with_axes_divider_001.png :alt: demo colorbar with axes divider :class: sphx-glr-single-img .. code-block:: default import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_divider import make_axes_locatable fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2) fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.5) im1 = ax1.imshow([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) ax1_divider = make_axes_locatable(ax1) # Add an axes to the right of the main axes. cax1 = ax1_divider.append_axes("right", size="7%", pad="2%") cb1 = fig.colorbar(im1, cax=cax1) im2 = ax2.imshow([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) ax2_divider = make_axes_locatable(ax2) # Add an axes above the main axes. cax2 = ax2_divider.append_axes("top", size="7%", pad="2%") cb2 = fig.colorbar(im2, cax=cax2, orientation="horizontal") # Change tick position to top (with the default tick position "bottom", ticks # overlap the image). cax2.xaxis.set_ticks_position("top") plt.show() .. _sphx_glr_download_gallery_axes_grid1_demo_colorbar_with_axes_divider.py: .. only :: html .. container:: sphx-glr-footer :class: sphx-glr-footer-example .. container:: sphx-glr-download sphx-glr-download-python :download:`Download Python source code: demo_colorbar_with_axes_divider.py ` .. container:: sphx-glr-download sphx-glr-download-jupyter :download:`Download Jupyter notebook: demo_colorbar_with_axes_divider.ipynb ` .. only:: html .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-signature Keywords: matplotlib code example, codex, python plot, pyplot `Gallery generated by Sphinx-Gallery `_
