Awesome project, Ioannis.

Wondering have you thought about the difficulties of doing similar things for matplotlib figures?

Thank you, Meng. Based on https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/2672 and the later comments at http://stackoverflow.com/a/35511373/1959808, exporting 3 dimensional information from matplotlib seems to require major changes to matplotlib itself.

mayavi seems a better candidate for implementing such exporting functionality, based on this discussion https://sourceforge.net/p/meshlab/discussion/499532/thread/147b4eb5/.
