Dear list, is there an equivalent function to matlabs patch() function in matplotlib? http://dali.feld.cvut.cz/ucebna/matlab/techdoc/ref/patch.html That means a function which does not require its X,Y,Z arguments to come from a prior call to meshgrid? That is at least what I believe to be the requirement for Axes3DSubplot.plot_surface.
In matlab you can pass n x k matrices as X,Y,Z argument, which then means that there are n Polygons (each with k vertices) and they each get shaded. The problem with the meshgrid structure is, that an unstructured mesh does not have this tensor structure, so if I have 1000 quadrilaterals, then I would have to call `Axes3DSubplot.plot_surface` for each of them separately. At least with `gtkagg` this even seems to fail with z-buffer problem. Btw. which backend to you recommend for 3D plots? -Holger -- Holger Brandsmeier, SAM, ETH Zürich http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/people/bholger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
