Re: [matplotlib-devel] trisurf plots with independent color data

2015-01-21 Thread Maximilian Albert
Hi Byron, This is a bit of a workaround, but you can specify facecolors explicitly by creating a triangulation of your surface explicitly and creating a Poly3DCollection with these facecolors. I'm attaching an example below which is a modified version of the plot_trisurf demo [1] in the matplotlib

Hi Tony, This is awesome. Great work! I was wondering, is there an easy way to cycle through all available styles for a given plot? For instance, clicking on the top left plot displays a maximized image of the "bmh" style. It would be great if one could press arrow-down (say) to cycle through th

Hi all, I had a discussion with Phil Elson about this last weekend during the Bloomberg Open Source Day. I don't consider myself an expert on colormaps by any means, but I started digging into them a while ago when I was looking for a way of generating a perceptually linear *cyclic* colormap in or

P.S.: As an aside, when I run ffmpeg on my machine it issues a deprecation warning and suggests to use avconv instead. Is it worth converting animation.py from ffmpeg to avconv, too? The command line arguments should be virtually identicaly (as far as I know - I only use it very occasionally, thoug
