clabel3D, is it possible?

dear all,

I have plot a 3D picture, I would like to have xy projection with contours levels and labels.

The contours works but I do not get the labels.

This is my code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d, Axes3D

fig = plt.figure()

ax = Axes3D(fig) #<-- Note the difference from your original code…

X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)

cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z,100,zdir=‘z’,offset=-100)

ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)

plt.show()import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d, Axes3D #<-- Note the capitalization!

fig = plt.figure()

ax = Axes3D(fig) #<-- Note the difference from your original code…

X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)

cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z,100,zdir=‘z’,offset=-100)

ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)

plt.show()

Is it possible to have also the labels?

Thanks

Theoretically, yes. I have just never thought about that sort of feature before, and it would not be trivial to implement. In the meantime, you can take a look at this example for a way to manually label things in a 3d plot.
