[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

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] 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

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
