Matplotlib supports 3d plots, and sympy uses that functionality, however it is nowhere near what mayavi has (moreover the performance in matplotlib is horrible as it does not use 3d acceleration). >> >> > Since >> > it is mentioned that >> > we can add backends : matplotlib, Google Chart API link, pyglet, >> > asciart, >> > d3.js and mayavi. >> > I think working on this would be better.
