title: python : 2D perspective projection of a 3D surface plot
body: <p>I am making a 3D surface plot using matplotlib (python). I want to visualize the shadow <strong>(2D perspective projection)</strong> of the 3D surface on xy xz and yz surface.</p>
  
  <p>In matlab, <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/6400-shadowplot" rel="nofollow">SHADOWPLOT</a> does the needed work. Does anyone know if Python has something similar that can be used for the same?</p>
