You may have already seen examples of the 3D stuff that matplotlib can do
here:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/mplot3D

and here is a link from the matplotlib TODO list (
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/goals.html)
http://sda.iu.edu/matplot.html

Basically the code isn't nearly as good (implementation, functionality,
speed, etc)
as the 2D stuff ... but oh how I wish it were ;)

It's really not clear what the best thing to do is ...
a) write 3D code from scratch for matplotlib (a lot of work)
b) improve what code already exists (possible fatal flaws in existing code)
c) search for another compatible  (for the notebook, etc) 3D plotting
library (still looking)

Ideas/thoughts are welcomed.
