Hi everybody,

I have sent this email before today, but I wasn't a member back then. So I don't know if it was sent. Anyway I am sending it again, if anyone knows how to color the plot_surface function (along an axis perhaps), please share your knowledge.

Thanks,
Seyit

Hi to the list,

This will be my first post here. I want to give a color(s) to my 3d surface plot with matplotlib. How do I do that. Is there an argument for (pseudo)color? There is no good explenation anywhere for plot_surface.

Thanks,
Seyit

Seyit,

I haven't seen a reply yet, so I will give the standard caution: 3-D plotting in mpl is not actively supported or maintained.

Thanks for (the only) reply Eric. I guess I have to switch over to another plotting tool if I really want the color (maybe Gnuplot). Too bad I started to like matplotlibs 3D plotting.

   You can try Mayavi (it may require Mayavi2, see

For surface plots, see
