Hello, I have some minor questions regarding matplotlib. I'm using it to make a 3d plot, displaying a surface, it's contour map, a line climbing the surface and its projection onto the contour map.
http://old.nabble.com/file/p34015720/landscape_draft.png landscape_draft.png As you can see, when the lines cross the contourf, they are somewhat obscured. Before I made the contourf transparent, the lines were blocked, even though they were above the contour plot when I viewed the picture from a different angle. Can this be fixed? I want the lines to appear on top of the contour plot. Also, I am trying to extend the z axis to be lower. This is most of the code I'm using: fig=plt.figure(1) ax=fig.gca(projection='3d') x=np.arange(0,2.5,.02) y=np.arange(0,2.3,.02) x,y=np.meshgrid(x,y) ax.plot_surface(x,y,Z(x,y),alpha=0.3) cset=ax.contourf(x,y,Z(x,y),zdir='z',offset=-2, cmap=plt.cm.jet,levels=np.linspace(0,9,100),alpha=0.5) ax.set_xlabel('x') ax.set_ylabel('y') ax.set_zlim(-2,8) #This is where I try to change the z axis limits. plt.show() I'm excluding the code which plots the lines. ax.set_zlim doesn't do anything; why is this? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/3d-contourf-and-ax.set-tp34015720p34015720.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
