the axes objects in which the mappable and the colorbar are drawn. In
this case, do not use any of the axes properties kwargs.

It is known that some vector graphics viewer (svg and pdf) renders white gaps
between segments of the colorbar. This is due to bugs in the viewers not
matplotlib. As a workaround the colorbar can be rendered with overlapping
segments::

cbar = colorbar()
cbar.solids.set_edgecolor("face")
draw()

However this has negative consequences in other circumstances. Particularly with
semi transparent images (alpha < 1) and colorbar extensions and is not enabled
by default see (issue #1188).
