Please see the related mplot3d documentation or take a look at matplotlib gallery for example 3D plots. For a more sophisticated 3D visualization and plotting interface, you can try Mayavi which is actively maintained and features an 'mlab' interface similar to matplotlib's 'pylab'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is good news that matplotlib 3D functions are being upgraded. Thank you. But it is unclear from the message whether one still must stay with 0.91 version or the 3D functions in pylab now work with 0.98 and higher. Can you give us some information on that? Thanks. -- Lou Pecora, my views are my own. |

They now work in matplotlib svn in the toolkit mpl_toolkits.mplot3d, and will be available in the next release http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-svn JDH |

I haven't been using matplotlib for very long at all, so I have no feel for the update frequency. Could you give us a hint/ballpark timeframe as to when the next release with the 3D functionality would be forthcoming? If I can limit the number of plotting tools I'm using to matplotlib + python and gnuplot (standalone) I'd be perfectly happy (though mayavi looks worth exploring at some point possibly too - but no rush if matplotlib can do the 3D thing :-) Thanks, Esmail |
