Bojan,
Thank you for the suggested patches. Unfortunately, however, they do
not in general solve the problem of size mismatch between the colorbar
and the corresponding axes, as you will see if you try a variety of axes
dimensions and aspect ratio settings. Your patch is equivalent to
setting the default shrink to 0.8 instead of 1.0, and I agree that this
is a better default. I did not use it originally simply for the sake of
backwards and Matlab compatibility. I suspect that making the change
will please more people than it will upset, though, so I will try it in
svn after the switch to the transforms branch. I don't see any point in
making little changes like this right now, when we are trying to
stabilize a last release before that switch. Everyone has lived with
the present default for a long time, and a few more weeks won't hurt.
A more general solution to the size-matching problem may emerge after we
switch to the transforms branch, but to my mind it is fairly low priority.
