title: 3D Gridded Plots in Python
body: <p>I am looking for a library. I have 3D gridded data that I want to plot using Python. When I want to plot 2D gridded data I use matplotlib's <code>matshow</code>:</p>
  <pre><code>from matplotlib.pylab import matshow, show
  matshow(some_data)
  show()
  </code></pre>

  <p>But now I have a 3D version of this sort of raster data, and I want to be able to plot boxes (cubes) stacked in 3D space. Ideally, this would be solvable using matplotlib but my guess is the solution will be in a different library (hopefully, something in Anaconda).</p>
