How to plot pcolor colorbar in a different subplot - matplotlib

Question

I am trying to split my plots in different subplots.. What I want to achieve is to put a colorbar for a subplot in a different subplot. Right now I am using:

# fi         


        

Answer 1

I believe you should use ax instead of cax.

# colorbar
axes = plt.subplot2grid((4, 2), (0, 1), rowspan=3)
plt.colorbar(pc, ax=axes)
