colorbar behavior when using subplots

[cesar7f]

When I use the pcolormesh function many times inside suplots, all the color bars appear until the end of the plot. See figure

Thanks

Cesar, thanks for pointing this out. What is your desired outcome? That
each subplot have its own colorbar, or that there's one at the end?

I feel I figure out by changing the next lines of your _pcolormesh.py:

fig.colorbar(p, cax=ax_colorbar, use_gridspec=True,
             orientation=orientation_colorbar)

by:

fig.colorbar(p, ax=ax_colorbar, use_gridspec=True,
             orientation=orientation_colorbar)

Somehow cax shows very small colorbars. It will be nice to add an extra flag that makes the fig.colorbar call optional.

Thanks a lot

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I no longer have the bandwidth to maintain prettyplotlib. I recommend using seaborn. Using seaborn, to get the prettyplotlib style, do:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set(style='ticks', palette='Set2')

And to remove "chartjunk", do:

sns.despine()

If you have discrete pull requests, I will accept them, but I personally will no longer fix bugs.

If you are a biological scientist looking for ways to analyze your big-ish (20+ samples) data, check out my main project, flotilla.
