How can the matlab function slice be replicated in matplotlib?
Consider the following piece of code from that page:
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2);
V = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2-Z.^2);
xslice = [-1.2,0.8,2];
yslice = [];
zslice = 0;
slice(X,Y,Z,V,xslice,yslice,zslice)
Please do not suggest any solutions that depend on vtk, mayavi etc as it seems that these cannot be installed on the system for reasons not important here.
