No contours or axes with x3d backend on Jupyter notebooks #633

Hi,

Regardless of the combinations of parameters I try it seems the x3d backend does not correctly display the contour3d call inline:

In addition to the png inline backend, the usual window and/or full envisage application works fine (also when calling them from the notebook). Any ideas of what I should do to fix it? Thanks!

I would imagine that VTK is not generating the transparency information correctly. It will need further investigation. Mayavi is just using VTK's X3D exporter so the issue is either with VTK or X3DOM. This page has some very handy information: http://fpavogt.github.io/x3d-pathway/dices.html

Thanks, I'll give it a go as soon as I have some time!
