[Matplotlib-users] 3d plots: set view angle (azimuth and elevation)

[Kevin D. <kg...@gm...>]

Thanks for a great library and excellent documentation.

I'm using mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.Axes3D (version 0.99.0) to generate a 3D
scatter plot and the web examples have been very useful so far.  But I have
these questions to which I can't find answers in the mailing lists or the
website:

a) can you programmatically set the viewing angle (azimuth and elevation)?
I noticed the ax.get_proj() function, but was hoping there would be an
ax.set_proj(elev=..., az=....) function also.
b) can you set all 6 sides of the bounding box to show up, instead of 3, but
set their faces to be transparent (of course!)

Thanks,
Kevin
