I think I found a bug with in the Axes3D color support. When there are 3 or 4
points to plot, then the you cannot specify an array of rgba arrays for the
colors of the points.
I tested in matplotlib 0.99.1 and the latest code from SVN. Both exibit the
bug. This simple code demonstrates the bug:
#simple Axes3D example setting color and size of points
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from numpy.random import rand
fig = plt.figure()
ax = Axes3D(fig)
n = 3 # ERROR WHEN n = 3 or 4 !!
xs = np.random.rand(n)
ys = np.random.rand(n)
zs = np.random.rand(n)
ss = np.random.rand(n) * 1000
cs = rand(n, 4)
ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs, s=ss, c=cs)
ax.set_xlabel('X Label')
ax.set_ylabel('Y Label')
ax.set_zlabel('Z Label')
plt.show()
#end code
This is the call trace for the bug:
