[Matplotlib-users] how to hide axes in a 3D plot

2011-09-07 Thread Matthew Koichi Grimes
How can I make a 3D plot without showing the axes? When plotting a 3d plot, Matplotlib not only draws the x, y, and z axes, it also draws light gray grids on the x-y, y-z, and x-z planes. I would like to draw a free-floating 3D graph, with none of these elements. My matplotlib.__version__ is

I tried Joe's code, with the call to ax.set_axis_off() moved to right after add_subplot(), as Ben suggested. The axes are still not disappearing, nor do they disappear when I interact with it (by rotating the plot). -- Matt On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 3:21 PM, Benjamin Root ben.r...@ou.edu wrote:

Thanks Ben, I for one would be very interested in any workarounds you might find that don't require an upgrade from 1.0.1. -- Matt On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 4:04 PM, Benjamin Root ben.r...@ou.edu wrote: On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 2:43 PM, Joe Kington jking...@wisc.edu wrote: Interestingly, things

[Matplotlib-users] How to turn off autoscaling in Axes3D

2007-01-18 Thread Matthew Koichi Grimes
Autoscaling is usually cool, but for my particular application I'd like to turn it off, so that my successive surface plots are all shown in the same scale. How can I turn off autoscaling in Axes3D? My current workaround is to manually set the axis limits just before each draw(), but this is

Hmm, I tried that but it didn't work. I also tried just using ax3d.hold(False), and also tried pylab.hold(False), but both times I still kept on getting multiple surfaces. -- Matt Eric Firing wrote: Matthew Koichi Grimes wrote: I'd like to plot a 3D surface and its contours as the surface

2007-01-12 Thread Matthew Koichi Grimes
I'd like to plot a 3D surface and its contours as the surface evolves. When I do it by simply calling plot_surface and/or contour3D multiple times, the plot doesn't clear the old surface before plotting the new one, so I get a whole bunch of surfaces accumulating in the same plot: snip import
