[Matplotlib-users] AxesGrid problem.

[Ryan N. <rya...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to use AxesGrid but I'm running into a problem:
I can plot a single pcolor plot:

But when I try to use AxesGrid, my pcolor plot is ending up where I expect
my colorbar to be.

I want to have up to 6 of these plots stacked vertically, sharing a common
time axis and y (depth) scale.

I'll try to simplify my code to show what I'm doing:

# I have arrays x_grid and y_grid for time and water depth.
# z_dim is a dictionary of arrays (one for each plot)
# In the plot above it has two arrays.
from matplotlib import pyplot
nrows = len(z_dim) # Number of rows is the number of arrays
My_figure = pyplot.figure(1,(8,8))
my_grid = AxesGrid(My_figure, 111, #Is this always 111?
                nrows_ncols = (nrows,1), # Always one column
                axes_pad = 0.1,
                add_all=True,
                share_all=True, # They all share the same time and depth
scales
                label_mode = "L",
                cbar_location="right",
                cbar_mode="each",
                cbar_size="7%",
                cbar_pad="2%",
                )
for row_no,parameter in enumerate(z_dim):
    ax = my_grid[row_no]
    ax = pyplot.pcolor(x_grid,y_grid,z_dim[parameter])
pyplot.draw()
pyplot.show()

I eventually want to end up with something like this matlab output (which I
didn't generate):

but without the duplication of x scales.

I'm new to pyplot and even after reading the documentation much of this is
baffling.
