matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hey,
I'm using matplot lib to make surface and contour plots of different
functions based on the set of data. (so I have a surface plot thats
basically f1(x,y) and a contour thats f2(x,y)) I want to color the surface
plot with the exact colors that are shown in the contour plot. (The surface
is a structure shape and the contour plot is the stress along the shape, I
want to plot the surface of the shape with the colors representing the
stress) I'm not sure how I can paste the colors from the contour plot onto
the surface. If anyone has anything that can help I'd really appreciate it,
thanks!

What is the status of tick setting in Axes3D?
I see there were some issues possibly to be fixed by 1.0.1,
but I'm running 1.0.1 and cannot properly set my ticks.
Thanks,

If you look at the 3d scatter plot example in the tutorial
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/tutorial.html#scatter-plots
you will see exactly the labels problem I am running into.
Can it be fixed? At a minimum, what is the right way to prevent the labels from
overlapping the ticks, and might the defaults be changed to avoid this?
Thanks,
Alan Isaac
