Description
Bug summary
I have created 3D surface plots using matplotlib as described [here]. Everything works except when I set the axis limits. Then the plots look very strange. It appears that commands such as Axes.set_xlim() (whether or not Axes.set_xbound()is used) limit the axis but not the data. The data is plotted and appears to continue beyond the axis limits.
Code for reproduction
axes= []fig0,ax0=plt.subplots(subplot_kw={"projection":"3d"})axes.append(ax0)surf0=axes[0].plot_surface(DS_ee,DS_cc,DS_array,cmap=cm.jet,linewidth=0,antialiased=False)axes[0].xaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(10))axes[0].xaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(2))axes[0].yaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(1))axes[0].yaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(0.2))axes[0].set_zlabel('Default Spectrum [photons/keV/pixel]',fontsize=7)axes[0].set_xlim(left=0,right=10)axes[0].set_zlim(0,3000)# axes[0].set_xbound(0, 10)# axes[0].set_zbound(0, 3000)fortinaxes[0].xaxis.get_major_ticks():t.label.set_fontsize(6)fortinaxes[0].yaxis.get_major_ticks():t.label.set_fontsize(6)fortinaxes[0].zaxis.get_major_ticks():t.label.set_fontsize(6)axes[0].grid(False)axes[0].view_init(elev=elev_angle,azim=azim_angle)axes[0].set(xlabel='E [keV]',ylabel=ylabel)
Actual outcome
Surface plot after usingAxes.set_xlim(left=0, right=10):
Surface plot after using usingAxes.set_xlim(left=0, right=10) andaxes[0].set_zlim(0, 3000):
Expected outcome
The image should look like the following but with the E axis ending at 10 keV and the vertical axis ending at 3000:
Additional information
I'm running the code that imports matplotlib in Spyder. I can share upon request the full code and input files needed to reproduce the error.
I tried all the suggestions inthis post and alsothis one and none worked. For example, I tried:
axes[0].set_xlim(left=0, right=10)axes[0].set_zlim(0, 3000)Also
axes[0].set_xlim(min=0, max=10)axes[0].set_zlim(0, 3000)and
axes[0].set_xlim(left=0, right=10)axes[0].set_zlim(0, 3000)axes[0].set_xbound(0, 10)axes[0].set_zbound(0, 3000)and
axes[0].set_xlim3d(left=0, right=10)axes[0].set_zlim3d(0, 3000)Operating system
