Project matrix onto plane in 3D

Hi,

I would like to project a matrix onto a plane in a 3D plot such that the matrix elements are colored by their magnitude (ideally using some sort of heat map colormap). I have several matrices and each would be projected onto a different plane, e.g. A -> xy-plane, B -> xz-plane, C -> yz-plane. I have experimented with mlab.points3d(mode='2dsquare') but can't figure out how to change the normal on the glyphs such that they are all in the desired plane. I am also running into issues with coloring, at this point only the outline of the glyphs is colored, and not the inside of them.

Thanks already,

nick
