Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to put colorbar label beside the handle?

[ChaoYue <cha...@gm...>]

I have a bit progress, but still not very well.

#to have a contourf plot
a = np.arange(100).reshape(10,10)
cbarlevel=np.arange(0,101,10)
contourf(a,levels=cbarlevel)
cbar = colorbar()
cbar.set_ticks(cbarlevel)

#to manipulate the range:
cbar_label = []
for i in range(len(cbarlevel)-1):
    cbar_label.append("{0}-{1}".format(cbarlevel[i],cbarlevel[i+1]))
cbar_label.append('')

In [54]: print cbar_label
['0-10', '10-20', '20-30', '30-40', '40-50', '50-60', '60-70', '70-80',
'80-90', '90-100', '']

#Then to apply on the colorbar:
cbar.set_ticklabels(cbar_label)

The generated figure is attached. But how can I put the labels a little bit
upward to make them parallel with the respective small rectangles in the
colorbar? <http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/file/n39786/fig.jpg>
