I think it is just that they are implemented differently. The background of axes3d is not actually a figure background but an axes patch. If you want, you can make the patch invisible. This will show the default gray background of the figure. Also, the options like transparent=True will work. ax.patch.set_visible(False) Regards, -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
