Re: [matplotlib-devel] Updating MPlot3D to a more recent matplotlib.

[Reinier H. <re...@he...>]

Hi all,

I reworked the code in axis3d so that the XYZ-planes are always behind
the object you're plotting. I also updated the label/ticks drawing a
bit and dropped a lot of unnecessary code. I pushed it to my git repo
at http://qtwork.nano.tudelft.nl/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=users/rwh/mplot3d;a=summary

Regards,
Reinier
