I am using axes3d to draw wireframes with code like this:
from numpy import *
import pylab as p
import matplotlib.axes3d as p3
fig1 = figure(1)
ax1 = p3.Axes3D(fig1)
ax1.plot_wireframe(x,y,z)
When this gets done drawing, I can click and drag with my mouse to
rotate the figure. I would like to set the orientation from a script.
 Is there a method of either fig1 or ax1 to do this?
Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for pointing that out, Eric.=0A=0AI try that and it did turn my plot=
 90 degree. The bad news is that GSview imports it upside down and if I w=
ant to view the plot on the screen, I have to rotate it downside up first. =
 (Hey, I shouldn't complain. At least I can print without wasting a piece=
 of paper for each plot).=0A=0ASo, looks like it's true that something MPL =
did to the eps file is causing Word to spit out that error page. I wish I =
know what it is.=0A=0AThe problem of not finding out is that I need to send=
 these plots to clients. I don't want to require that they have an .eps vi=
