Hi Oscar, Matplotlib is a purely 2D plotting library, it doesn't provide similar capability to the Matlab 'mesh' function. For 3D plotting you could use Mayavi http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/ You can probably still get great visualization of your results using the Matplotlib functions pcolor, pcolormesh, contour, contourf or imshow. See the documentation and examples at these links to get started. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.pcolor http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.pcolormesh http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.imshow http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/pcolor_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/pcolor_demo2.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/quadmesh_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/contour_image.html Also look at the pyplot tutorial and post to the list if you get stuck. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html Cheers, Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
