I have a matplotlib plot with a colorbar attached. I want to position the colorbar so that it is horizontal, and underneath my plot.

I have almost done this via the following:

plt.colorbar(orientation="horizontal",fraction=0.07,anchor=(1.0,0.0))

But the colorbar is still overlapping with the plot slightly (and the labels of the x axis). I want to move the colorbar further down, but I can't figure out how to do it.
