# Experimental 3d axis for matplotlib



This experimental project is an attempt at providing a better and more

versatile 3d axis for [Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org). The heart of the

code is explained in this blog post: [Custom 3D engine in

Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/matplotblog/posts/custom-3d-engine/).

> Note that we cannot have a full 3d engine because we do not have a proper

> [zbuffer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering) that allows to test

> individual pixels. This means we need to sort our points/lines/triangles in

> order to draw them from back to front. Most of the time, this does the trick

> but there exist some situations where it is impossible to avoid

> problems. For example, consider two triangles that intersect each other. In

> in such a case, we have to decide arbitrarily which triangle will be drawn on

> top of the other.
