matplotlib colorbar in each subplot
colorbar, matplotlib, python
Solution
Please have a look at this matplotlib example page. There it is shown how to get the following plot with four individual colorbars for each subplot:
I hope this helps. You can further have a look here, where you can find a lot of what you can do with `matplotlib`.
Problem
I would like to add a separate colorbar to each subplot in a 2x2 plot. ``` fig , ( (ax1,ax2) , (ax3,ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2,sharex = True,sharey=True) z1_plot = ax1.scatter(x,y,c = z1,vmin=0.0,vmax=0.4) plt.colorbar(z1_plot,cax=ax1) z2_plot = ax2.scatter(x,y,c = z2,vmin=0.0,vmax=40) plt.colorbar(z1_plot,cax=ax2) z3_plot = ax3.scatter(x,y,c = z3,vmin=0.0,vmax=894) plt.colorbar(z1_plot,cax=ax3) z4_plot = ax4.scatter(x,y,c = z4,vmin=0.0,vmax=234324) plt.colorbar(z1_plot,cax=ax4) plt.show() ``` I thought that this is how you do it, but the resulting plot is really messed up; it just has an all grey background and ignores the set_xlim , set_ylim commands I have (not shown here for simplicity). + it shows no color bars. Is this the right way to do it? I also tried getting rid of the "cax = ...", but then the colorbar all goes on the bottom right plot and not to each separate plot!
