Hi, I would like to create 3D plots. A search revealed the following page:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/mplot3D which explains to install matplotlib version 0.99 to use the 3D code. Unfortunately, after installingmatplotlib-0.99.1.1 (from matplotlib-0.99.1.2.tar.gz) I am not able to use the 3D code. The command that show that the correct version is used together with the error is shown below. Any idea how I can use this code? Do I have to downgrade to the 0.91.x maintenance branch? Or do you suggest to use mayavi (http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab.html)? I also tried to install the latter, after 1 hour of installing code and requirements and cmake and easyinstall.. I got the error that VTK is not installed. So: Any idea how to create a simple 3D scatter plot, seen from any arbitrary angle?
