    """
    Plot a gray or color scale-bar on maps.

    Both horizontal and vertical scales are supported. For CPTs with
    gradational colors (i.e., the lower and upper boundary of an interval
    have different colors) we will interpolate to give a continuous scale.
    Variations in intensity due to shading/illumination may be displayed by
    setting the option -I. Colors may be spaced according to a linear
    scale, all be equal size, or by providing a file with individual tile
    widths.

    Parameters
    ----------
    frame : str or list
        Set color bar boundary frame, labels, and axes attributes.
    {CPT}
    position : str
        ``[g|j|J|n|x]refpoint[+wlength[/width]][+e[b|f][length]][+h|v]
        [+jjustify][+m[a|c|l|u]][+n[txt]][+odx[/dy]]``. Defines the
        reference point on the map for the color scale using one of four
        coordinate systems: (1) Use *g* for map (user) coordinates, (2) use
        *j* or *J* for setting refpoint via a 2-char justification code
        that refers to the (invisible) map domain rectangle, (3) use *n*
        for normalized (0-1) coordinates, or (4) use *x* for plot
        coordinates (inches, cm, etc.). All but *x* requires both *region*
        and *projection* to be specified. Append +w followed by the length
        and width of the color bar. If width is not specified then it is
        set to 4% of the given length. Give a negative length to reverse
        the scale bar. Append +h to get a horizontal scale
        [Default is vertical (+v)]. By default, the anchor point on the
        scale is assumed to be the bottom left corner (BL), but this can be
        changed by appending +j followed by a 2-char justification code
        *justify*.
    box : bool or str
        ``[+cclearances][+gfill][+i[[gap/]pen]][+p[pen]][+r[radius]]
        [+s[[dx/dy/][shade]]]``. If set to True, draws a rectangular
        border around the color scale. Alternatively, specify a different
        pen with +ppen. Add +gfill to fill the scale panel [no fill].
        Append +cclearance where clearance is either gap, xgap/ygap, or
        lgap/rgap/bgap/tgap where these items are uniform, separate in x-
        and y-direction, or individual side spacings between scale and
        border. Append +i to draw a secondary, inner border as well. We use
        a uniform gap between borders of 2p and the MAP_DEFAULTS_PEN unless
        other values are specified. Append +r to draw rounded rectangular
        borders instead, with a 6p corner radius. You can override this
        radius by appending another value. Finally, append +s to draw an
        offset background shaded region. Here, dx/dy indicates the shift
        relative to the foreground frame [4p/-4p] and shade sets the fill
        style to use for shading [gray50].
    truncate : list or str
        ``zlo/zhi`` Truncate the incoming CPT so that the lowest and
        highest z-levels are to zlo and zhi. If one of these equal NaN then
        we leave that end of the CPT alone. The truncation takes place
        before the plotting.
    scale : float
        Multiply all z-values in the CPT by the provided scale. By default
        the CPT is used as is.
    shading : str or list or bool
        Add illumination effects. Passing a single numerical value sets the
        range of intensities from -value to +value. If not specified, 1 is
        used. Alternatively, set ``shading=[low, high]`` to specify an
        asymmetric intensity range from *low* to *high*. The default is no
        illumination.
