Hi all,

I'm trying to use an AxesGrid to plot 5 images and a color bar. I can't work
out how to get labels on the colorbar, and none of the examples shows this.
Can anyone help? I presume this is a simple thing, once one knows the
correct command.

I'm creating the grid using the following code snippet, taking almost
verbatim from the examples:

fig = plt.figure()
grid = AxesGrid(fig, 111, nrows_ncols = (1, 5), axes_pad = 0.05,
share_all=True, cbar_mode='single', cbar_location='right', cbar_size='15%')
for i in xrange(5):
    im = grid[i].imshow(array[i])
plt.colorbar(im, cax=grid.cbar_axes[0])

but then it's not clear how to switch on the labels. Things I've tried:
normal colorbars come with them on by default. I've also found that
grid.cbar_axes is a list of five elements, each of which is an CbarAxes, for
which I can't find documentation on the website, and doing
grid.cbar_axes[0].set_yticks/set_yticklabels on at least the first and last
elements of the list doesn't work. Can anyone shed light on this? I bet it's
easy once I know the magic words.

Thanks,

Angus.
