[Matplotlib-users] colorbar on LEFT side of figure ?

[Jim V. <Jim...@no...>]

Hi,

I have been unable to place a colorbar on the LEFT side of a figure.  
For example, in the Gaussian noise with vertical colorbar 
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/colorbar_tick_labelling_demo.html> 
demo, how can the colorbar be positioned on the left side of the figure.

Thanks,

Create your own axes instance for the colorbar (as in 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/multi_image.html).
