Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to put the label above horizontal colorbar?

[Arnaldo R. <arn...@gm...>]

Dear Chao,

You could try this,

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# create a color bar with:
sm = plt.cm.ScalarMappable(cmap=plt.get_cmap('Reds'))
sm.set_array(range(10))

# create an horizontal colorbar and put the ticks on the top.
# in your case, you could plot colorbar on top, and tick at 'bottom'
cb = plt.colorbar(sm, orientation='horizontal', location=1.0)
cb.ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('top')
plt.show()

Another way, you could find useful a function written by Ryan May [0]

Hope that fits.

Arnaldo.
