Re: [Matplotlib-users] x=, y=, z=??
I think this is an excellent idea, Eric. I would love it if this feature would also work in contour. The difficulty I see is that an axis needs to know whether an image or contour plot has been added. If so, it needs access to the array with the data to show the z value. I am thinking out loud here. So an axis needs an attribute 'showz' or something, that gets set, and a pointer to the array needs to be set. What to do when you overlay two contour plots? Not sure yet. Then the toolbar needs to be modified to take that into account and call the appropriate function to display the z value. I think this would be a great feature. Does anybody have suggestions for a clean implementation?

[Matplotlib-users] Broken axis
Hi! I'd like to plot a graph with a certain range left out to allow better visualization of outliers. The axis should appear broken at this position to indicate that the scaling is interrupted. (pychart calls it "zap marks", see http://home.gna.org/pychart/doc/module-zap.html) Is there a way to do this with matplotlib?

No, this has been requested but never implemented. Someone may have come up with a manual method, but it would require essentially drawing the axes manually from primitives, and manipulating the values of the outliers.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] animating surfaces
Hmm, I tried that but it didn't work. I also tried just using ax3d.hold(False), and also tried pylab.hold(False), but both times I still kept on getting multiple surfaces. -- Matt Eric Firing wrote: > Matthew Koichi Grimes wrote: >> I'd like to plot a 3D surface and its contours as the surface >> evolves.
