Responsive Design with CSS

Fantastic tutorial here on Responsive Design using CSS.

From the post:

Responsive web design is the practice of building a website suitable to work on every device and every screen size, no matter how large or small, mobile or desktop. Responsive web design is focused around providing an intuitive and gratifying experience for everyone. Desktop computer and cell phone users alike all benefit from responsive websites.

Adding a colorbar to a plot

# Create the maps in a subset of the figure: we leave space for the colorbar v = viz.plot_map(data, affine, axes=[0., 0., 0.9, 1.])
# Create a dedicated Axis for the colorbar cax = v.axes['z'].ax.get_figure().
add_axes([0.9, 0.1, 0.03, 0.8])
# Add the colorbar relatively to the "seconde layer" of the last map colorbar(v.axes['z'].ax.
images[1], cax=cax)


To correctly position the colorbar you can first create an axis/figure that you pass as plot_map arguments.

fig = pl.figure(figsize=(6, 3), facecolor='w', edgecolor='w')
ax = pl.axes([.02, .0, .83, .95], axisbg='w')
slicer = plot_map(tag_map, affine, title=title, cmap=pl.cm.hot,
                      vmin=-vmax, vmax=vmax, figure=fig, axes=ax)
cax = slicer.axes['z'].ax.get_figure().add_axes([.87, .1, .03, .8])
pl.colorbar(slicer.axes['x'].ax.images[1], cax=cax)
