[Matplotlib-users] axes properties

[Jean-Philippe Grivet]

Thanks a lot Benjamin and Vincent for your most kind and detailed answers.

In reply to Vincent, I regret that the authors of Matplotkib did not pursue
the wrapper idea and propose a function plot3d(x,y,z); it would make 
life simpler.

I copied from the net (I can't remember where) the following code fragment:

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as pt

fig = pt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
................
surf = ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride = 10,cstride = 10)

which looks rather similar to Matlab syntax and works well for me.
  Is that considered to be obsolete or in bad style ?

Thanks again,
Jean-Philippe
