[Matplotlib-users] 3d surfaces in basemap?
Hi, maybe matplotlib is capable of doing this: I have two gridded datasets, A and B, for say Europe. Now I want to plot a 3d surface with the z-values given by dataset A. The surface should be colored using a given color palette and the values from dataset B. Any ideas on how to do this are greatly appreciated =) Cheers, Andreas. -- WINDOWS 8 is here.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3d surfaces in basemap?
Hi Andreas, Someone else, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only way to do this is to provide your own "facecolors" map. Pick your preferred color map and apply it to dataset B, then now use mplot3d plot_surface(X,Y,Z_A,facecolors=B_colors). Assuming you are running inside pylab or have done similar imports, the following example should work --- import mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d x=arange(10) y=arange(10) x,y=meshgrid(x,y) za=sin(np.deg2rad(x))+20*cos(np.deg2rad(y)) zb=x*25 colors=cm.jet(zb) ax = gca(projection='3d') surf = ax.plot_surface(x,y,za,rstride=1,cstride=1,facecolors=colors) draw() #I'm not sure why the draw command is necessary… anyone? --- Note, plot_surface will apply shading by default, you can turn it off and just use your supplied colors using the shade=False keyword arg ethan On Oct 27, 2012, at 2:09 AM, Andreas Hilboll wrote: > Hi, maybe matplotlib is capable of doing this: > > I have two gridded datasets, A and B, for say Europe.

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! Ben Root -- WINDOWS 8 is here. Millions of people. Your app in 30 days.
