Surf, mesh, and friends

All,

I am aware of the 3d examples at: http://scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/mplot3D

However, this seems out of date, some examples work, some don't. Are there other pointers that show how I can use matplotlib to draw three dimensional surfaces similar to the ones drawn in Matlab with mesh, surf, and friends?

Any url's appreciated.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the 3d plotting routine, axes3d, is unmaintained and unsupported. It has actually been removed from SVN and won't be in future releases. Volunteers are welcome to try and see if they can fix it. :slight_smile:

Other options would be Vtk (with python bindings) (http://www.vtk.org) or Mayavi2 (https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi).
