hmm. Mayavi2 has a mlab module thats under active development. It aims to do the same stuff that matlab 3D plots do. However, svn currently crashes for me. > [...] >> matplotlib version is 0.91.2, straight from ubuntu repos. > > 3D support should still be present in 0.91.x.

Perhaps you could > give a short explicit example of what used to work and now does not. ----- from pylab import * import matplotlib.axes3d as p3 fig=figure() ax= p3.Axes3D(fig) ax.scatter3D(x,y,z) show() ----- this causes an error. x,y,z are valid 1D arrays. They work using the method you've posted in your mail. Perhaps a wrapper can be wriitten around mayavi's mlab module. 3D plotting is too important to leave out of something like matplotlib. Its perfect for all other things. It would be a pity if one has to switch to gnuplot or dislin just for 3D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
