matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Ok. I'll wait for the MEP directory to start writing a proposal.
Here is a flavor of what I think could be done (to be seen using a fixed width font):
"AB":
┌────────┐┌────────┐
│ A ││ B │
│ ││ │
│ ││ │
└────────┘└────────┘
"ABB":
┌──────┐┌──────────┐
│ A ││ B │
│ ││ │
│ ││ │
└──────┘└──────────┘
"ABD"
"CCD":
┌───────┐┌───────┐┌───────┐
│ A ││ B ││ D │
│ ││ ││ │
│ ││ ││ │
└───────┘└───────┘│ │
┌────────────────┐│ │
│ C ││ │
│ ││ │
└────────────────┘└───────┘
"AaBb":
┌───────┐┌─┐┌───────┐┌─┐
│ A ││ ││ B ││ │
│ ││ ││ ││ │
│ ││ ││ ││ │
└───────┘└─┘└───────┘└─┘
" b "
"aABCc":
 ┌───────┐
 └───────┘
┌─┐┌───────┐┌───────┐┌───────┐┌─┐

It would also allow us to return the plotting axes separate from the colorbar axes, which is how axes_grid1 does it, and it is very nice that way.

two problems with that: 1) that really doesn't make me want to use this
approach, especially since I wouldn't know what ratios I would want in the
first place. 2) it can't tell if I want a horizontal or vertical colorbar,
whereas the lower-case notation could have some logic to auto-detect the
user's intent (e.g., all lower-case letters in the last row indicates
horizontal bars). It would also allow us to return the plotting axes
separate from the colorbar axes, which is how axes_grid1 does it, and it is
very nice that way.

I think you could specify colorbars using: ["AAAAAAAAAB"]
(B is a vertical colorbar, 1/10 of total width)
