Hi Everyone again, So, with the weekend comes some time to think and I found an answer to another question of mine.
I know now how to remove xticks in colorbar, and I also know how to customize the widths of the lines in the color bar. import matplotlib import numpy as np import matplotlib.cm as cm import matplotlib.mlab as mlab import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from pylab import * matplotlib.rcParams['xtick.direction'] = 'out' matplotlib.rcParams['ytick.direction'] = 'out' delta = 0.025 x = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta) y = np.arange(-2.0, 2.0, delta) X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y) Z1 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0) Z2 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1) # difference of Gaussians Z = 10.0 * (Z2 - Z1) # Create a simple contour plot with labels using default colors. The # inline argument to clabel will control whether the labels are draw # over the line segments of the contour, removing the lines beneath # the label plt.figure() CS = plt.contour(X, Y, Z) plt.clabel(CS, inline=1, fontsize=10,inlinespacing=50) a=plt.colorbar() ticks = a.ax.get_xticklines() lines = a.ax.get_ygridlines() children=a.ax.get_children() children=a.ax.get_children() children[4].set_linewidths([12,12,12,12,12,12]) for tick in ticks: setp(tick, []) plt.title('Customize colorbar') I hope someone finds that useful. And someone is still following my monologue, my question, how to remove the axes around the colorbar, or at least changed the to be non-visible, still stands...
