Get data from mplot3d graph

Question

I can’t find out how to get data from an mplot3d graph. Something similar to the 2D style:

line.get_xdata()

Is it possible?

Answer 1

This issue was filed on Github and there is contribution that adds new get_data_3d and set_data_3d methods. Unfortunately, these changes is likely not yet available in distributions. So you might have to continue using private variable line._verts3d.
