[Matplotlib-users] rectangle 3D with transparency

[Diego A. <die...@gm...>]

Dear all,
I need to plot a 2D rectangle in a 3D plot.

I already know how to put a circle. I have started from:
http://matplotlib.org/examples/mplot3d/pathpatch3d_demo.html
and inserting the alpha parameter.

*p = Circle((5, 5), 2,alpha=0.1)*
*ax.add_patch(p)*
*art3d.pathpatch_2d_to_3d(p, z=5,zdir="y")*
*
*
How can I do the same but with a rectangle instead of a circle?

Thanks all
*
