Change colorbar orientation once drawn

Hi,

I would like to change the orientation of a colorbar once it has already been drawn. So for example if I create the colorbar with:

cb = fig.colorbar(mappable=image, cax=cax, orientation='vertical')

I would like to be able to do

cb.set_orientation('horizontal')

Is there a way to do this, since set_orientation does not exist?

Thanks for any help,

Thomas

Try

    cb.orientation = "horizontal"
    cb.update_bruteforce(cb.mappable)

it seems to work okay.
However, note that "update_bruteforce" clears the axes then redraws.
So, if you added some artists in the colorbar axes by yourself
(although this is not likely), they will be lost.

Regards,
