class eelbrain.plot.ColorBar(cmap, vmin=None, vmax=None, label=True, label_position=None, label_rotation=None, clipmin=None, clipmax=None, orientation='horizontal', unit=None, contours=(), width=None, ticks=None, threshold=None, ticklocation='auto', background='white', tight=True, h=None, w=None, *args, **kwargs)

A color-bar for a matplotlib color-map

Parameters:

cmap : str | Colormap | array

Name of the color-map, or a matplotlib Colormap, or LUT.

vmin : scalar

Lower end of the scale mapped onto cmap.

vmax : scalar

Upper end of the scale mapped onto cmap.

label : bool | str

Label for the x-axis (default is the unit, or if no unit is provided the name of the colormap).

label_position : ‘left’ | ‘right’ | ‘top’ | ‘bottom’

Position of the axis label. Valid values depend on orientation.

label_rotation : scalar

Angle of the label in degrees (For horizontal colorbars, the default is 0; for vertical colorbars, the default is 0 for labels of 3 characters and shorter, and 90 for longer labels).

clipmin : scalar

Clip the color-bar below this value.

clipmax : scalar

Clip the color-bar above this value.

orientation : ‘horizontal’ | ‘vertical’

Orientation of the bar (default is horizontal).

unit : str

Unit for the axis to determine tick labels (for example, u'µV' to label 0.000001 as ‘1’).

contours : iterator of scalar (optional)

Plot contour lines at these values.

width : scalar

Width of the color-bar in inches.

ticks : {float: str} dict | sequence of float

Customize tick-labels on the colormap; either a dictionary with tick-locations and labels, or a sequence of tick locations. To draw no ticks, set to ().

threshold : scalar

Set the alpha of values below threshold to 0 (as well as for negative values above abs(threshold)).

ticklocation : ‘auto’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘left’, ‘right’

Where to place ticks and label.

background : matplotlib color

Background color (for colormaps including transparency).

Also accepts General layout parameters.
