[Matplotlib-users] Fwd: 3d plotting question

[belinda t. <bt...@cs...>]

Forwarding this to the list....

I'm curious if you run into another problem I recently reported. Can  
you do, e.g.:

import copy
import pylab as P
import matplotlib.axes3d as P3
def test() :
     [X,Y] = P.meshgrid(P.linspace(-3,3,7),P.linspace(-3,3,7))
     Z = copy.deepcopy(X)
     Z1 = copy.deepcopy(X)
     for i in xrange(len(X)) :
         for j in xrange(len(X[0])) :
             Z[i][j] = X[i][j]*Y[i][j]
             Z1[i][j] = X[i][j]*Y[i][j] - 5
     P.close('all')
     fig = P.figure()
     ax = P3.Axes3D(fig)
     ax.plot3d(ravel(X),ravel(Y),ravel(Z),'r.-')

or do you instead get an error in matplotlib's axes.py, complaining  
about self.autoscale_view and a scalex parameter? For more on the  
hack I made to axes.py file which then allowed me to use plot3d, see

Thanks for providing  more info.
