Belinda, I was not paying close enough attention and did not realize that you are all the way back at 0.87.7. I think that trying to do any kind of piecemeal updating of that to get 3d working decently is an exercise in futility; a lot of things have changed since then, some problems in 3d have been fixed but it still can't be considered operational, and Tim's recent work has been post-0.90, so upgrading to that is still not likely to be very satisfactory. A new release is planned soon--maybe next week?--and that would certainly get you closer. But overall, I think that trying to use mpl 3d functionality for a class this term is not a good idea. There is a lot you can do in 2d with 0.87.7; I think you would really be best advised to find a way to make that adequate for the purposes of your class this term. The easiest way to see some of the things that have changed is to go to http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/ and browse the archive, especially lib/matplotlib, where the pure python parts are. 0.87.7 was released at revision 2835. You can also get an overview from CHANGELOG and API_CHANGES. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
