I'm relatively new to matplotlib. Trying to place a colorbar in a figure. The
code below, placed in a file and executed with python, draws 4 maps using
basemap. I've been unable to get a colorbar to show up anywhere on the figure.
Ideally I would like the option of placing a colorbar across the bottom,
spanning across both bottom map panels. Also would need the option of placing
a colorbar either to the right of or below each map. Uncommenting the two lines
under "Here make a colorbar" cause an error. I've used those commands when
creating just one map using the figure command.
TIA,
Mike
