Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to visualize a, b results of x, y variables

[Jonno <jon...@gm...>]

I was thinking of doing that or having 2 surface plots but I think it would
be visually quite confusing.
I was trying to think of an example since I'm sure someone has come up with
a nice way to display this kind of data.
Imagine if the data was average temperature (a) and average rainfall (b)
for a region in the world (lat/long = x,y). The goal is to display the data
such that it's obvious where the locations are that have closest to the
ideal temp/rain combination.
How would you go about that?
