Re: [Matplotlib-users] Set X,Y,and Z data for a pcolormesh

[Oliver <oli...@gm...>]

If I understand your intent well, then you want to make slices through a 3D
volume and show such slice planes.

I’ve always done this with the various functions of an Axes3D instance that
allow you to specify the slice position. On the matplotlib examples page,
there is a good example that showed me how to do what I wanted (even though
I only had a series of 1D data):
polys3d_demo<http://matplotlib.org/1.3.1/examples/mplot3d/polys3d_demo.html>
.

You could use the same technique with contourf, which is probably closer to
what you want. Have a look at this stackoverflow
question<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15582105/python-plot-stacked-image-slices>.


I hope this helps.
