Re: [Matplotlib-users] One colorbar for many plot

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

In v1.3, we added the ability to provide a list of axes objects to
pyplot.colorbar() (and maybe fig.colorbar()?). All of the axes objects in
that list would then get resized similarly to make room for the colorbar.

http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.colorbar

The AxesGrid option is also very nice, and I use it a lot.

Cheers!
