I created a plot with contour(f) and noticed that no colorbar is created while saving to tex/pgfplots. However, the colorbar gets plotted in the pdf output.
Here is a minimal example of the used python code:
"""
Demo of the `streamplot` function.
A streamplot, or streamline plot, is used to display 2D vector fields. This
example shows a few features of the stream plot function:
* Varying the color along a streamline.
* Varying the density of streamlines.
* Varying the line width along a stream line.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm as cm
Y, X = np.mgrid[-3:3:100j, -3:3:100j]
U = -1 - X**2 + Y
V = 1 + X - Y**2
speed = np.sqrt(U*U + V*V)
fig0, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set(aspect='equal')
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
strm = ax.streamplot(X, Y, U, V, color="k")
#ax0.contour(X, Y, speed)
cntr1 = ax.contourf(X, Y, speed, levels=14, cmap="YlGnBu_r")
cbar = fig0.colorbar(cntr1)
cbar.ax.set_ylabel('verbosity coefficient')
fig0.colorbar(cntr1, ax=ax)
print(cntr1.levels)
#fig0.colorbar(strm.lines)
# Produce output and write to file
from matplotlib2tikz import save as tikz_save
tikz_save("output/" + "filename" + ".tikz",figureheight='8cm', figurewidth='\\textwidth', strict=False,show_info=False)
plt.savefig("output/" + "filename" + ".pdf")
plt.show()
And here is the pgfplots output :

*Notice: I only attached the pgfplots header, because the file is tho big. But you can see, there is no colormap/colorbar command while defining the axis.
*Oh, and by the way: the matplotlib axis option aspect='equal' isnt exported to. That might be another issue.
Edit
Giving the streamline plot a non static color returns a other object as the contour plots - the colorbar gets exported correctly when using streamlines colors option. *see matplotlib documentation
Edit 2
Why matplot2tikz doesn't use `\addplot3´ and ´surf´ instead of filling curves?
