Greetings, MPL Users.
I have been experimenting with Axes3D with the hopes that I could create
some 3d lines and then project some contours on different planes in the 3D
axes object, much like the contour3d_demo3.py example (but with lines
instead of the 3d wireframe.) The catch, however, is creating the contour
objects using tricontour instead of a regular contour. Being that I
typically use irregular grids for my research, the triangulate module has
been a tremendous feature, but it doesn't seem to work with Axes3D objects.
For example, this quick script:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#import matplotlib.tri as tri
import numpy as np
from numpy.random import uniform, seed
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
seed(0)
npts = 200
ngridx = 100
ngridy = 200
x = uniform(-2,2,npts)
y = uniform(-2,2,npts)
z = x*np.exp(-x**2-y**2)
# tricontour.
fig = plt.figure()
ax = Axes3D(fig)
ax.tricontour(x, y, z, 15, zdir=x, offset=-2)
plt.show()
creates a huge traceback, listed below.
Is it possible to combine tricontour with Axes3D? It would appear that they
are just incompatible, but perhaps there is a way to force it to work?
Thanks for your help.
