Sorry, I have been bogged down with work with the impending "frankenstorm",
and I would expect Jeff to be as well.
Hybrid 3d transforms has been a goal of mine, but there are various
limitations that I have yet to have time to address. So, there isn't any
nice ways to do what you want.
Now for the dirty ways. Theoretically, you could still create an Axes3d
object, and have the Basemap object calculate all of the coordinate
transforms, and plot that data at the appropriate z coordinates. There are
also various methods in axes3d to transform normal artists into 3d artists,
so you could capture the output of drawcounties(), convert it into a 3d
object.
If you get this working, please let us know and share examples! We would
love to see them!
