@story645 thanks for the suggestion! This PR is ready for review

It looks like something went wrong with the layout. Also, please read the comments on the issue for ideas how to improve this.

thanks for the feedback, I tried to make some adjustments but I cannot see if my changes were successful, how does this link you commented before work?

how does this link you commented before work?

At the bottom of this page are some automated checks. Scroll to the bottom of them and you see "View the built docs". Click on that and you can then navigate to your example from there.

But you can also just run your script locally to see how the plot looks. That will give you faster feedback.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, I tried to see the changes locally like @rcomer said and it should look much better now, please let me know if there's still something missing

Can you please try the dataset @jklymak suggested in the original issue?

Also can you remove the spines (code should also be in the original example). Also please remove the yaxis_inversion as that's confusing me here - it might be clearer if you add the colorbar like in the original issue. Which also setting the margins to 0 (see original example) will remove the spacing for the bar chart so that it takes up the whole space (also please set height to 100% so they line up) - you are welcome to add that as a comment if it makes it clearer and to ask about the purpose of any code you don't understand.

I tried the first example from here : https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/images_contours_and_fields/image_demo.html and it worked just fine! please tell me if it is alright now

The new dataset isn't a normal distribution so the histogram should also not be a normal distribution. Please check your bins and extents (for example the dark blue and dark orange should be more prominent).

Please plot the histogram without preset bins so that you can see what it's supposed to look like and then follow the example in the original issue for visualizing the correct histogram. Please ask questions if you don't understand the code.

I took a look at the original issue but it says the new dataset is a bivariate normal distribution, should I still change the histogram? And I'm a bit confused about the extents, do you have any suggestions on what changes should I make?

I changed the histogram slightly so it depicts a bivariate normal distribuition, please tell me if I still need to fix anything

Did you look at the output?

https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/28ecf74f-5057-416e-905b-29c996c5c4e1/artifacts/0/doc/build/html/gallery/color/colorbar_histogram.html#sphx-glr-gallery-color-colorbar-histogram-py

Yes and it looks slightly different from the output I got when I ran the program locally...does it have to do with the output screen scale?

The mypy problems have been fixed on the main branch. It might be enough to close and re-open the PR to pick up those changes.

Thanks for the help! I managed to get rid of linting errors (finally!) so this is ready for review.

I applied the suggested changes and I also checked how it looks like on the built docs and everything looks alright, do we need to change anything else?

I'm just getting an error in line 30 : line 30, in
norm = mcolors.BoundaryNorm(bins, cmap.N)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.py", line 2042, in init
super().init(vmin=boundaries[0], vmax=boundaries[-1], clip=clip)
~~~~~~~~~~^^^
TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

I am not really sure what it means and I think we should change the parameters

Thank you for the help, I managed to fix it now! Hopefully it works alright now

Is there anything else left to change?

Thanks @livlutz and congratulations on your first contribution to matplotlib! 🎉 We hope to see you again.
