Re: [Matplotlib-users] No color scaling when using plot_surface. Please help
Ah, I misread your original post and thought you were talking about pcolor. I will take a look at plot_surface and see if there is a possible reason for your issue. I have an idea of what is happening, but I have to see the code when I get back to my office tomorrow.

It seems that plot_surface method does have some issue with NaNs. I think it is best if you manually adjust the color range. For example, vmin = np.nanmin(mass) vmax = np.nanmax(mass) ax.plot_surface(X, Y, mass, rstride=1, cstride=1, cmap=cm.jet, vmin=vmin, vmax=vmax) IHTH, -JJ -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

However when I plot my data, everything is the same color when I expected to get a nice rainbow of colors as in the example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/mplot3d/surface3d_demo.html I have attached a simple script to show what I did as well as the result. Essentially, I just copied the above demo, but put my own data in. I think the problem arises because I have holes in my data, or areas where the data is zero. These zeros throw the scaling off so I tried to eliminate their effect, but this messed everything up. Essentially my question is: how can I get a nice color distribution while at the same time avoid the extreme scaling issues associated with some data being zero (while all the other data is ~16)?
