Re: [matplotlib-devel] Updating MPlot3D to a more recent matplotlib.

Just because we are using all the 2D drawing code to make the plots, which is why the 3d code is so small, maintainable and is visually consistent with 2D matplotlib. I believe that moving to OpenGL would require a substantial effort. J On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 12:17 AM, Ondrej Certik wrote: > On

Hi, Thanks for the patch. How slow is it for you? I find it slow but quite usable. The main problem, I imagine, is that sympy is using OpenGL and thus your graphics card performs all the 3d -> 2d rendering whereas we do much of this in python/numpy. When I get a chance I am going to see if I c

Hi Reinier, Awesome. Those plots are making me smile! I also agree with your refactoring and have applied your patch to my git repository. I agree with you concerning the sympy plotting routines. I think what we have here is quite flexible and does a very good job of replicating the equivalent

Hi, I've done some further refactoring of mplot3d: - Almost all of the test plotting functions work, except for test_bar2D. Filled contours are not perfect yet and need a bit more work. Try "python axes.py" with the attached files to see how it looks! - I removed the Wrap2D class, which was usin
