3D projection in one subplot?

[florian-wagner]

Hi @lukelbd,

first of all, thank you so much for developing proplot! It's a wonderful tool that would have saved me a lot of fiddling and boilerplate code in previous publications.

Quick question: Do you see any possibility to have one axis/subplot with matplotlib's 3D projection? I tried the following without success:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import proplot as plot
import numpy as np

fig, axs = plot.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=4, width="20cm", sharex=3, sharey=3)

for a in axs[1:]:
    a.imshow(np.random.randn(5,5))

ax = fig.add_subplot(141, projection='3d')

Thanks and cheers,
Florian

Decided to do this since the fix was relatively simple (6df344b). Now you can request a "3D" axes inside a proplot figure using the existing proj keyword.

Example: A single 3D axes

fig.subplots(proj='3d')

Example: 3 columns, the first one is a 3D axes

fig.subplots(ncols=3, proj={1: '3d'})

There will probably be other compatibility issues, but I think it's fair to at least add a baseline of support

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
