How to plot an image file on a 3D graph surface? #4123

Open Chiangkim opened 4 years ago

Chiangkim commented 4 years ago

hello all,

I want to know if holoviews can set a background image while plotting 3D-surface.

I found the feature in Plotly and matplotlib, but not here. https://plot.ly/~empet/14172/mapping-an-image-on-a-surface/#/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30211049/how-to-plot-an-image-file-on-a-3d-graph-surface-using-python-not-plotting-as

many thanks, chiangkim

Are you interested in mapping a monochrome image (as in the plotly example) or a color image (as in the matplotlib example) onto the surface? Those would be two very different tasks, in that a monochrome image is just an array of scalar values, while a color image is an array of RGB values.

Hello James,

I'd like to have a a color imag onto the surface if possible.
