Hello,
 
We've encountered a problem plotting a nearly flat surface.
Interestingly exactly flat surface can be plotted just fine, so it seems
the bug is triggered when a range of values on z axis is very narrow.
The problem can be easily reproduced on 32-bit windows and 64-bit linux,
the only platforms I have handy, so most likely it is not platform
specific. Both platforms have Python 2.6 and Matplotlb 1.0.1, and I've
also seen the same error on Windows with Matplotlib 1.0.0. Here is a
simplified repro:
 
------
from matplotlib import pyplot
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import numpy
 
n = 3
m = 4
x = range(n)
y = range(m)
z = [ 0.2999999999999 for i in range(n*m) ]
z[1] = 0.3 # comment this line to make it pass
 
figure = pyplot.figure( 0 )
ax = axes3d.Axes3D( figure )
x = numpy.array( [ [ t ] * m for t in x ] )
y = numpy.array( [ y ] * n )
z = numpy.array( z )
z = z.reshape( [ n, m ] )
wire = ax.plot_wireframe( x, y, z )
figure.show()
pyplot.draw()
-----
 
Here is a traceback:

line 243, in draw
    newval = get_flip_min_max(xyz1[0], newindex, mins, maxs)
IndexError: list index out of range

If you comment out "z[1] = 0.3" line, and therefore make surface
perfectly flat, then it will plot just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Kind regards,
 
Kirill Lapshin
