3D layered plot

This plot is possible in MATLAB but I would like to do this in matplotlib.
See attached fig.
In matlab the code is:

a=peaks(20);
b=peaks(20)+2*rand(20);
c=rand(20);
figure; hold on;
ha=pcolor(a);
hb=pcolor(b);
hc=pcolor(c);
set(hb,'zdata',0*b+5)
set(hc,'zdata',0*c+10)

This plot can then be rotated, as is done in the figure, to what I want to
accomplish in matplotlib.

Is this possible, if so, how?

It sort of is:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d as art3d import numpy as np

x, y = np.mgrid[0:2*np.pi:16j, 0:2*np.pi:16j]

C = np.cos(2*x[:-1,:-1]) + np.sin(y[:-1,:-1])

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') p = ax.pcolor(x, y, C) art3d.poly_collection_2d_to_3d(p, 0)

q = ax.pcolor(x, y, C)
art3d.poly_collection_2d_to_3d(q, 5)

o = ax.pcolor(x, y, C)
art3d.poly_collection_2d_to_3d(o, 10)

ax.set_xlim([x[0,0], x[-1,0]])
ax.set_ylim([y[0,0], y[0,-1]])
ax.set_zlim([0,10])

plt.show()

Hi Eric,

For some reason I cannot see your post on the webpage but I get your emails.
My python doesn't have: art3d.poly_collection_2d_to_3d()
Is this an old function that has been deprecated? I'm using matplotlib version 1.1.0

I'm also running matplotlib version 1.1.0. Perhaps someone else can comment, but as far as I know poly_collection_2d_to_3d is part of version 1.1.0. How does it fail when you try to run the example I gave? Can you import mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d?
