[Matplotlib-users] zorder taking an array

[Simon W. <s.r...@go...>]

When multiple datasets are plotted on the same axis, the points overlay each other making it hard to see the points under the most recent ones. One way to avoid this is to give each point a random zorder, randomising its position in the z axis. This way, points from the first dataset may overly points from the last dataset.

This could be achieved nicely if the zorder keyword took an array so the random zorder values per point can be pre-computed, but currently it only accepts a single number for the whole dataset. Would this be a useful feature for others to have? How difficult would it be to implement?

Thanks,
