Hi Bryan,
Thanks so much for such a speedy response and for your suggestions. The change in length of tick labels makes lots of sense, I will have a play around with margins and tick formatters.
The truncation of tick labels still occurs even when the default option in the color selector is petal_length (and so the first time the plot is made the ticks on the colorbar are the short length, if that is how it works). Might this suggest a root cause of something going wrong when the space the colorbar needs is calculated?
Happy to open a GH issue if you reckon it's worth.
Thanks again,
Giles

Hi,
Well the proximate cause is that the length of the tick labels on the color bar are changing. The layout change occurs precisely when the longer labels with decimals show up or disappear. For a static plot and many dynamic plots this automatic adjustment is what is desired to give the plot the most amount of space, but can obviously not be great in a few situations as you demonstrate.
Unfortunately the axis on the color bar is not currently as configurable as regular plot axes. It's not currently possible to change the orientation of the labels to vertical (which would solve the problem because they would always take up the same amount of space in the horizontal direction) nor is there a "min_border" setting that would allow you to set the min border to be larger than the largest expected tick. Given that, I can suggest a few possible other approaches:
* make the entire colorbar horizontal (e.g. above or below the plot) so that the labels don't grow in the direction normal to the colorbar side.
* increasing .margin on the colorbar *may* help, but I am not certain
* set a different tick formatter on the colorbar, that always formats the ticks to have exactly the same length (e.g. shows "2.0" instead of "2" so that there is always one place after the decimal)
Not great, but those are the only things I can think of that would help at the moment. It's also probably worth a GH issue to discuss possible improvements to make the colorbar axis more configurable.
Thanks,
Bryan
