[Matplotlib-users] Multiple surface plots with correct z-ordering
Hi,
is it possible to create a three-dimensional plot with several surface
plots with correct z-ordering? The naive approach via
import pylab
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
pylab.close('all')
fig=pylab.figure()
ax=fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
x=pylab.linspace(-8, 8, 128)
y=pylab.linspace(-8, 8, 128)
X, Y=pylab.meshgrid(x, y)
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, X**2+Y**2)
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, 100*pylab.ones_like(X), color='r')
pylab.draw()
pylab.show()
does not work. One surface plot is hiding the other one completely. I
am using Matplotlib version 1.1.1. May be one can combine the two
Poly3DCollections generated by plot_surface into a single one. Any
hints?
Heiko

[Matplotlib-users] 3d subplots, white space
Hi all, I try to make a figure with 6 3d subplots. My problem is that there is a lot white space around. I tried to play with subplot_adjust, but without much success. Any hints?

Unfortunately, it assumes a certain amount of margins to leave, which is applicible for 2d plots, but not for 3d plots. I would bet that there is some way to mess around with the default gridspec parameters, but that is not in my area of expertise. If anybody who knows this sort of stuff can give me a clue about it, I would love to update mplot3d to have a better default subplot appearance. Cheers!
