I had just been looking into this myself.
My starting point would be this example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13570287/image-overlay-in-3d-plot-using-python
but instead of the hard-coded '10' as the z values in plot_surface, put in
whatever data or function of x and y that you want. Using
Is it possible to drape an image over a topography dataset? One example,
from a package called GMT, is here:
http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/doc/5.1.1/gallery/ex32.html
If so, does anyone have a sample of how this would be accomplished?
Thanks,
Mike
