title: Creating intersecting images in matplotlib with imshow or other function
body: <p>I have two 3-D arrays of ground penetrating radar data. Each array is basically a collection of time-lapse 2-D images, where time is increasing along the third dimension. I want to create a 3-D plot which intersects a 2-D image from each array.</p>
  
  <p>I'm essentially trying to create a fence plot. Some examples of this type of plot are found on these sites:

  <p>I typically use imshow to individually display the 2-D images for analysis. However, my research into the functionality of imshow suggests it doesn't work with the 3D axes. Is there some way around this? Or is there another plotting function which could replicate imshow functionality but can be combined with 3D axes?</p>
