     The orientation of the colorbar.  It is preferable to set the *location*
     of the colorbar, as that also determines the *orientation*; passing

     Fraction of original axes to use for colorbar.

 shrink : float, default: 1.0
     Fraction by which to multiply the size of the colorbar.

 aspect : float, default: 20
     Ratio of long to short dimensions.

     Fraction of original axes between colorbar and new image axes.
