[yt-users] Colorbar on Phase Plots

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for writing!  I believe you would be best suited to modifying
slightly how you call to_mpl() and supplying your own ax object.  So
I'd recommend doing something like:

 * Construct the figure you want using the matplotlib API, including
the axes for the figure but not yet the colorbar.
 * Call to_mpl() and supply the axes object that you created above.
This will plot inside that axes.
 * Now, add your colorbar as Matplotlib normally would.

Does that make sense?  Let me know if it works for you!

-Matt
