Re: [Matplotlib-users] Squashed axes with AxesGrid

[Steven B. <bo...@ph...>]

Well... I jumped the gun. To better illustrate the problem(s) I am 
having, I wrote a simple script that doesn't work...

import pylab as pyl
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import AxesGrid

# make some data
xdata = pyl.random(100) * 25.
ydata = pyl.random(100) * 8.
colordata = pyl.random(100) * 3.

# make us a figure
F = pyl.figure(1,figsize=(5.5,3.5))
grid = AxesGrid(F, 111,
         nrows_ncols=(1,2),
         axes_pad = 0.1,
         add_all=True,
         share_all = True,
         cbar_mode = 'each',
         cbar_location = 'top')

# Plot!
sc1 = grid[0].scatter(xdata, ydata, c=colordata, s=50, cmap='spectral')
sc2 = grid[1].scatter(xdata, ydata, c=colordata, s=50, cmap='spectral')

# Add colorbars
grid.cbar_axes[0].colorbar(sc1)
grid.cbar_axes[1].colorbar(sc2)

grid[0].set_xlim(0,25)
grid[0].set_ylim(0,8)

pyl.show()


And you get some squashed figures... I'll attach a png.

Thanks again.
