Experimental 3d axis for matplotlib
This experimental project is an attempt at providing a better and more
versatile 3d axis for Matplotlib. The heart of the
code is explained in this blog post: Custom 3D engine in
Matplotlib.

Note that we cannot have a full 3d engine because we do not have a proper
zbuffer that allows to test
individual pixels. This means we need to sort our points/lines/triangles in
order to draw them from back to front. Most of the time, this does the trick
but there exist some situations where it is impossible to avoid
problems. For example, consider two triangles that intersect each other. In
in such a case, we have to decide arbitrarily which triangle will be drawn on
top of the other.
