如何在MatPlotLib中注释/突出显示三维图

Question

我想做这样的事情:在3d空间中的http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/_images/86cbd17f31.png.基本上我想要突出表面图的一部分.有什么建议？

再次更新.见评论

如果向下钻取到绘图生成的多边形集合,则可以修改曲面图的面颜色.它会进行一些魔术着色并根据zorder对颜色列表进行重新排序,因此我在确定如何在未突出显示的区域中保留指定的阴影但仍然能够索引感兴趣的区域时遇到了一些麻烦.这是一种有效的方法.我希望你想要阴影面,而不是某种3D半透明柱.这也可以做到,但我认为很难说出突出显示的内容并且定义zorder非常棘手.
