{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"pan and zoom are broken for mplot3d","articleBody":"Chances are, this will probably fall on me to address, but I am documenting it here in case someone else realizes the issue.\n\nWhen creating 3d axes in the old manner (ie, ax = Axes3D(fig)), the panning and zooming features are completely useless and often produces incomprehensible results.  Axes created in the newer manner (ie, ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')) has somewhat better behavior, but still quite useless.\n\nWhile pan and zoom has never really been properly supported in mplot3d, the current behavior is significantly worse than before.  I suspect that there might be some interactions with a variety of changes.  First, there were some changes to figure object itself, which may have not been properly tested with non-subplotted axes (which would explain differences in behavior between the old style and new style).  Second, I suspect that some changes to the clipping logic for Agg might be causing some of the issues with zooming and panning.\n\nI think I will temporarily address this issue by disabling pan and zoom for Axes3D objects.  I also want to make the Home button capable of returning the figure view back to normal.  It does not appear to do this right now.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/WeatherGod","@type":"Person","name":"WeatherGod"},"datePublished":"2011-05-10T17:44:08.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/110/matplotlib/issues/110"}
