Is there a pylab version of ax.plot_surface?
I am asking because the following does not work when running an ipython notebook in pylab mode:
#0: #create some data ….
#1: fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
#2: surf = ax.plot_surface( …..) # taking the exact command from the examples.
I have verified that this code only does NOT work when #1 and #2 are executed in different notebook cells. When they are combined in the same cell, it works.
As I prefer the flexibility of being able to run everything anywhere, I am asking for pylab versions of plot_surface, as I am mostly running things in the pylab mode of the notebook.
Cheers,
Michael
The reason this does not work in separate cells is that a figure object
gets closed at the end of a ipython cell. An ax object no longer works
when its parent figure is closed. This is not limited to 3d plots. I
would be surprised to see ax.plot() work if a non-3d axes object was made
in a different cell.
