Thanks Ben, that works nicely. Good work :) (except that inkscape is not nearly as good as matplotlib itself at optimising the resulting vector-based pdf to keep the file size down - not mpl's fault though). I just remembered, while trying this out, that there are two of every object forming the ax

[Matplotlib-users] alpha settings in mplot3d

2011-07-19 Thread gary ruben
I haven't had a chance to look properly at the new mplot3d improvements that Ben Root has been working on, but I wonder whether it is easy now to set the axis properties so that the patches that form the axes no longer have an alpha value of 0.5? I really want them to be solid. The use case is that

Thanks for the answers. Jakub, if possible, could you test out the latest matplotlib in development on github? I have been working hard in this. If not, you could also always operate directly through the axis objects themselves, such as: ax.zaxis (although, you might have to do ax.w_zaxis).

[Matplotlib-users] Control over ticks in 3D plot

2011-07-19 Thread Jakub Nowacki
Dear All, I've found it impossible to get some control over ticks in a 3D plot (Axes3D, using with projection='3d' option) in Matplotlib 1.0.1 (EPD 7.1-1 linux 64-bit). Namely, I have one out of four subplots, that is 3D and it has much to many ticks (tick labels to be exact), which makes them
