matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
I basically have a Chi-Squared distribution that is dependent on 3
variables.
eg. X2(x, y, z)
What I would like to do is be able to plot the chi-squared + 1 surface in
3-dimensions.
eg. I would like to have the three axes as x, y and z. and then have a
surface (its going to look like a closed blob effectively) that maps the
chi-squared plus one surface.
I have no idea how to do this though. Is it possible? any ideas?

For this to work correctly, you need to manually keep two axes in sync
(you can use a callback). Also note that this approach cannot be used
with aspect=1 & adjustable=bbox.
Another way is to use axes_grid1 toolkit.
Here is the modified version of your script w/ axes_grid1.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.colorbar as cb
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
y = np.reshape(np.arange(0, 1000000, 1), (20000, 50))
test = 'hot'
f1 = plt.figure(1)
f1.patch.set_facecolor('#c0c0c0')
import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 as axes_grid1
# use axes_grid1.host_axes
ax1 = axes_grid1.host_axes([0.09, 0.15, 0.82, 0.80])
axc = f1.add_axes([0.09, 0.05, 0.82, 0.05])
im1 = ax1.imshow(y, cmap=test, aspect='auto', origin='lower')
cb.Colorbar(axc, im1, orientation='horizontal')
# use twin() not twinx()
ax2 = ax1.twin()
# make ticklabels on the top invisible
ax2.axis["top"].toggle(ticklabels=False)
fmtr = matplotlib.ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x,pos: "%.2f"% (x*2,))
ax2.yaxis.set_major_formatter(fmtr)
plt.show()

I would like to construct a 3d plot consisting of several 2d quiver plots on
orthogonal, intersecting planes. Is this possible with matplotlib? In matlab
I do it by construct several 2d graph and then reorienting them in the 3d
space using the 'rotate' function. E.g. 
xaxis = [1 0 0];
h = quiver('v6', z, y, w, v, 'k');
rotate(h, xaxis, 90, [0 0 0]);
This produces a 2d quiver plot of [v,w](y,z) oriented along the y,z axes of
the 3d space, and then I do the same for x,y and x,z quiver plots.
Any ideas for matplotib 3d? Thanks!
John Gibson

Thanks much for the reply!
I'll try your advice as soon as I can.
BTW, I don't think this is a Solaris-related problem.
If you look at the pointers in my original post, the same error can
happen on other arch (I confess it can be for other reasons though).
