    2. A sequence of matplotlib artists. Any object with a ``get_color`` method

    3. A sequence of hex strings, color string names, or RGB tuples. A colormap
       will be generated from these colors, and colorbar levels will be
       selected using `values`. If `values` is ``None``, it is set to

label, title : str, optional

labelsize, labelweight, labelcolor : optional

locator, ticks : locator-spec, optional
    Used to determine the colorbar tick positions. Passed to the

minorlocator, minorticks
    As with `locator`, `ticks` but for the minor ticks.
minorlocator_kw
    As with `locator_kw`, but for the minor ticks.
maxn : int, optional
    Used if `locator` is ``None``. Determines the maximum number of levels that

maxn_minor

rasterize : bool, optional

    but we change this to :rcraw:`colorbar.rasterize` because rasterization can
    cause misalignment between `edges` and the level patches.
orientation : {None, 'horizontal', 'vertical'}, optional

    ``legend_elements`` method is used to pair the collection or contour set label
    with the central artist in the list (generally giving the central colormap
    color if the object is controlled with a colormap).
labels : list of str, optional
    A matching list of string labels or ``None`` placeholders, or a matching list of
    lists (see the `center` keyword). Wherever ``None`` appears in the list (or

        length : float or unit-spec, optional

            width or height. For inset colorbars, default is
            :rc:`colorbar.insetlength` and units are absolute.
            %(units.em)s
        shrink : float, optional
            Alias for `length`. This is included for consistency with
            `matplotlib.figure.Figure.colorbar`.
        width : unit-spec, optional
            The colorbar width. For outer colorbars, default is :rc:`colorbar.width`.
