I have had some success with Gnuplot.py and Mayavi, but both are probably more work than matplotlib's 3D surface stuff (because they have a lot more capability). If you want to pursue matplotlib, I would ask this question over there (I think somebody asked something very similar last week - so look for that thread).

Hi,
I need to do some simple 3D plots, so I tried the two Cookbook recipes (xplt, mplot3d) and failed:
* xplt: does not work when using a custom installation directory such as python setup.py install --root=/home/share/software
apparently the gistdata directory path is wrong: gist.error: failed to create drawing -- Gist work.gs style sheet missing
* mplot3d: does not work with my version of matplotlib (0.80). I have made the changes mentioned in the Cookbook to no avail. (Axes.__init__() args apparently changed, as well as some other matplotlib object attributes)
Any ideas? mplot3d looks great, I would really like to use it!
thanks, r.
