How to convert 2D Matplotlib to 3D vpython?

Question

I have a project in an AI class that is requiring us to change our 2D matplotlib programming to vpython 3D. I was wondering if anyone with experience in this can give me some pointers or tips.

Assuming that you are using the new VPython syntax and not the older "Classic" VPython, here is a link to a VPython 3D plot demo program.

Here is the VPython code for this demo program.

And here is the VPython documentation on creating triangles and quads from vertices.
