Hi, What prevents me from using mplot3d in the classroom is highlighted by the following example. # surface3d_demo2.py import matplotlib from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np fig = plt.figure() ax = Axes3D(fig) u = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 10

I am not a MPL developer, but I am using mplot3d quite heavily right now to support 3D plots for a client of mine. I have found many bugs and lacking features which I require in the mplot3d library and have modified my local copy of the code significantly. I am eagerly awaiting Reinier's retur

I find this puzzling. It seems as though the x,y points in some fashion can vary. plot(2.8,3.4) doesn't work in my program plot([2.8],[3.4]) does work plot((2.8,3.4)) apparently creates two points Here's code where I have had to make x,y each a list. I've made comments about the behavior of x,y

Hi, If I understand right you want to redraw new trend lines when you zoom in (recalculated for the visible data). You then have to use event callbacks which usage example is shown here (view limits change example): http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/event_handling/viewlims.html For on
