This is from the matplotlib-users list. A user noticed that he can not change the background color of a 3d plot with arguments to .savefig(). Is this a bug or is it intentional?
Thanks, Ben Root ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Denis Laxalde <dlaxa...@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 9:42 AM Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] [mplot3d] change axis background color To: matplotlib-us...@lists.sourceforge.net This is set in axis3d module (class Axis), by _AXINFO. So far, I haven't found a way to modify colors/transparency but to edit the latter file. Is this hard-coded or is there a way to modify this a posteriori ?
