Re: [Matplotlib-users] contour3D in matplotlib

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

There are fundamental limitations of mplot3d that would make such a feature
a disaster. You can plot a single surface just fine, but if you try
plotting multiple surfaces, they do not get composed correctly (what I have
dubbed the "Escher effect"). That problem would have to be solved first. In
the past 5 years, I have yet to figure out a solution that doesn't utterly
upend matplotlib.

That doesn't mean that it isn't solvable, I just haven't figured it out,
nor do I really have that much motivation or resources to figure it out.
There was a discussion thread a few months back that raised a couple ideas
that might be promising, though, if you want to look take a stab at the
problem.
