Gary,
Glad to hear that you are kicking the tires. To make it clear, the _axinfo
dictionary is in the Axis3D object (of which there are 3 in a Axes3D
object). So, it would be something like:
ax.xaxis._axinfo['color'] = (0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1)
At least, in theory. Part of the reason why I did not want to make this
dictionary official is because the above would not actually work as
expected. Although something similar for tick line colors might, for
example. Because of the inconsistencies and because I did not want to paint
myself into a corner, I have made this dictionary explicitly "users beware".
However, there is hope for your problem! Use ax.xaxis.set_pane_color((0.3,
0.3, 0.3, 1)) instead!
Let me know if you encounter any other problems.
