Difficulty with colorbar

I've been trying to add a colorbar to my figure and have used the following code;

cax = axes([0.85, 0.1, 0.075, 0.8])
colorbar(cax=cax)

as a template (from http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/subplots_adjust.html)

However I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cornwall2.py", line 640, in <module>
    draw_parishes(n_parishes,m_parishes,preoccratio_parishes,0,nthroot,scaling)
  File "cornwall2.py", line 112, in draw_parishes
    colorbar(cax=cax)
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib-0.98.3.0001-py2.5-win32.egg\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 1295, in colorbar
    ret = gcf().colorbar(mappable, cax = cax, ax=ax, **kw)
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib-0.98.3.0001-py2.5-win32.egg\matplotlib\figure.py", line 977, in colorbar
    cb = cbar.Colorbar(cax, mappable, **kw)
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib-0.98.3.0001-py2.5-win32.egg\matplotlib\colorbar.py", line 595, in __init__
    mappable.autoscale_None() # Ensure mappable.norm.vmin, vmax
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'autoscale_None'

How am I using colorbar incorrectly?

I think I realised what I was doing wrong, I didn't have the imshow() call beforehand in my program:

But using the code:

    cax = fig.add_axes([0.85, 0.1, 0.075, 0.8])
    a=outer(arange(0,1,0.01),ones(10))
    imshow(a,aspect='auto',cmap=cm.gray,origin='lower')

I get a set of axes from 0 to 10 in the x direction and 0 to 100 in y.How do I get rid of the x axis and scale the y axis from 0 to 1.
