Hi,
I’m using surface_plot to view the results of solving the 2d wave equation. It works fine (code is below) except I would like to add a color bar and fix the limits on the vertical axis. When I add the color bar a new one is added in every iteration instead of overwriting the previous one, anyone know how I can prevent this?
Also is it possible to specify a view point when plotting?
Thanks
