This is from the matplotlib-users list. A user noticed that he can not change the background color of a 3d plot with arguments to .savefig(). Is this a bug or is it intentional?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] [mplot3d] change axis background color
To: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net
This is set in axis3d module (class Axis), by _AXINFO.
So far, I haven’t found a way to modify colors/transparency but to edit
the latter file. Is this hard-coded or is there a way to modify this a
posteriori ?
Cheers,
Denis

Huh, how about that? I never noticed that before. I wonder if that
is a bug or if it is intentional?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your answer. Actually, options for savefig seem to only
operate on 2D axes whereas I’m trying to change the color of 3D axes
(x,y,z) which, by default, have a grid with a gray background. I
manage to remove the grid lines but not the background color. (My
initial question was not very clear perhaps…)

Denis,
There are probably other ways, but the one that I know off the top
of m=
y
head is done at the savefig() function. If you want to remove the
background entirely, you can specify the keyword argument
transparent=3DTrue.
You can change the color using the facecolor keyword argument. You
can specify any color in that argument like you would elsewhere in
matplotlib.
