[Matplotlib-users] Can not display 3D plot !

[Geoffrey M. <geo...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using the distribution Anaconda 64-bit.

I never got problems with it. But on that new PC on windows 8.1, I can't
plot anything in 3D.
Note that I have an other windows 8.1 installation which works well.

2D plots work fine.

To create a 3D axe works and then to show the figure works fine:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("agg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltfig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
plt.show()

But to create the 3D axes, to draw in it, and then to show the figure, that
crashes:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("agg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)
cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z)
ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)

plt.show()


Basically on iPython QT console I would get an error like:
""Kernel died, restarting""

I tried different backend:
- either they are not installed,
- or they send the message "Kernel died, restarting"
- or they send no error but no figure is created.


Any idea of what is the problem?​
