Dear list, I would like to display a 2D image in a mplot3d axe in order to combine it with a surface3D or a bar3d plot for instance. The effect I am looking for is similar to what can be seen in the bottom XY plane of http://matplotlib.org/1.4.0/examples/mplot3d/contourf3d_demo2.html, except that I would like to have a custom image instead of the filled contours.
I googled the subject and found only messages dating at best from 2010. These messages mentioned that the imshow() method did not work on a mplot3d. Indeed it does not. The only alternatives offered by the googled answer to my problem were to switch to VTK or Mayavi. For one thing, I never managed to install VTK on my PC, and I already have other matplotlib figures in my wxpython application so I would really like to stick to matplotlib. Does anyone have pointers as to how I could display a 2D image in mplot3d? Do I need to create a new artist in order to replace the non-functionning imshow? I see that patch collections work fine in mplot3D. Would it be feasible to load an image and have it displayed as a patch collection (1 patch for each pixel)?
