Alright - took a look at the docs and have a bit of feedback:

1. First off - great job! This kind of thing should be part of graphing libs to begin with (real perspective projection) - most only have orthographic.

2. But! You should add the ability to switch to orthographic, as it can be useful for certain plots.

3. Other plotting types would be useful - I'm not an expert here - basically everything matplotlib offers: http://matplotlib.org/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/tutorial.html

4. Gridlines, labels, legend, titles, etc.

5. Perhaps an x/y/z gnomen?

6. A way to pick/point at a datapoint and see the data values that generated it (perhaps with a way to apply formatting to the information popup?)

Ok - I know it is "early days" and what I've posted is probably things you have already thought about and are working on. As a first showing, I really like it. I can see it being useful for a variety of tasks - and again, I am glad you do the perspective projection instead of only ortho - because sometimes, you just want to see the data in a more "real world" fashion...



Thank you, I agree on all points, but good to hear this from others. Labels and axis etc are most important now. What are gnomen?


I think it's a small x/y/z axis next to the plot to guide the eye and give orientation. Doesn't have to be located at (0,0,0)


Ah yes, thank you, good idea.
