Description
The figure api documentation of colorbar lists anchor and panchor as
possible arguments to figure.colorbar(). However they do not seem to exist anymore.
E.g. when running the following in matplotlib 2.0:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
im = ax.imshow(np.random.rand(11,16))
ax.set_xlabel("x label")
fig.colorbar(im, ax=ax, anchor=(0.0, 0.5))
plt.show()
the following error is thrown:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'anchor'
I could imaging that this is simply because the documentation has not been updated?!
