Hi, I'm a physics student, and got interested in retrieving meteorological data (through Internet) I spent good couple of days to just make a picture of file formats providing this data, sources and tools for reading it, and then give up discouridged by ECMWF and finally EUMETSAT portals. I have a

Hi, I have not managed to rotate the axes label text when generating a 3D plot, while in 2D everything works just fine. Here's a short snippet to demonstrate: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
