Hi All,
To follow up on my own post - because my curtains and contours were well-ordered, I simply set the "zorder" on each call and got the right effect. 
Thanks, Jody

I also want to be able to contour a second variable C2 also MxN. I know how to do that, but the example below just uses plot3D, because thats how I do the curtain contouring.

Is there a way to force matplotlib to build (on Mac, 10.6, Xcode 3) against
a specific, non-standard location of libpng? Right now it appears to be
linking to /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib, which is making it very difficult
to install the resulting binaries on other Macs. I couldn't figure out a
way to point it somewhere else.
thanks,
Nat

Hey,
I'm trying to plot streamplots into an axesgrid object with something
like:
fig = pl.figure(1, (13, 20))
grid = AxesGrid(fig, 111,
 nrows_ncols = (3, 2),
 axes_pad = 0.6,
 cbar_location = 'top',
 cbar_mode = 'each',
 cbar_size = '2%',
 cbar_pad = '1%',
 )
[...]
 norm = mpl.colors.LogNorm(vmin=1, vmax=5000)
 im = grid[i].streamplot(XPTS, YPTS, zx, zy,
 color=zr,
 arrowsize=.001,
 norm=norm)
 grid.cbar_axes[i].colorbar(im)
[...]
and then it failes with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./results.py", line 96, in <module>
 grid.cbar_axes[i].colorbar(im)
 File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/axes_grid.py",
line 85, in colorbar cb = Colorbar(self, mappable,
orientation=orientation, **kwargs) File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/colorbar.py",
line 706, in __init__ mappable.autoscale_None() # Ensure
mappable.norm.vmin, vmax AttributeError: 'StreamplotSet' object has no
attribute 'autoscale_None'
can't I use streamplots in axesgrid? If I comment out the colorbar for
the streamplot colors it works ...
Is this a bug? Is there a right way to do it? Is there a work around?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards, Yoshi
