Is there a way to set the style and scilimits to the colorbar axes? All my attempts failed. For example, run the following script, I get the error shown below:
### begin example script import numpy from matplotlib import pyplot n = 5000000 x = numpy.random.standard_normal(n) y = 2.0 + 3.0 * x + 4.0 * numpy.random.standard_normal(n) xmin = x.min() xmax = x.max() ymin = y.min() ymax = y.max() hist, edges = numpy.histogramdd([y,x], bins=[25,25], range=[[ymin,ymax], [xmin,xmax]]) extent = [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax] fig = pyplot.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) plt = ax.imshow(hist, extent = extent, origin = 'lower', interpolation = 'nearest', aspect = 'auto') cb = fig.colorbar(plt, ax=ax) # This causes an AttributeError exception cb.ax.ticklabel_format(style='sci', scilimits=(0,4)) pyplot.show() ### end example script > python cb_scilim_test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "cb_scilim_test.py", line 25, in <module> cb.ax.ticklabel_format(style='sci', scilimits=(0,4)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 2117, in ticklabel_format "This method only works with the ScalarFormatter.")
