Bug summary
When setting ax.view_init(vertical_axis="x") the plot is initialized as intended but once rotating it a little the plot and ax._vertical_axis is reset to the default value.
Code for reproduction
x = np.array([0, 1, 2, 4])
y = np.array([5, 10])
z = np.array([100, 150, 200])
X, Y, Z = np.meshgrid(*[x, y, z], indexing="ij")
c = np.arange(0, X.size)
plt.figure()
for j, (a, e) in enumerate([(0, 0), (-60, 30)]):
for i, vert_a in enumerate(["z", "y", "x"]):
ax = plt.subplot(2, 3, j * 3 + 1 + i, projection="3d")
pc = ax.scatter(X, Y, Z, c=c)
# ax.view_init(vertical_axis=vert_a)
# ax.view_init(azim=0, elev=0, vertical_axis=vert_a)
# ax.view_init(azim=-60, elev=30, vertical_axis=vert_a)
ax.view_init(azim=a, elev=e, vertical_axis=vert_a)
ax.set_title(f"azim={a}, elev={e}, vertical_axis='{vert_a}'")
ax.set_xlabel("x")
ax.set_ylabel("y")
ax.set_zlabel("z")Actual outcome
Inital view:
After a small rotation on the bottom right plot:
Expected outcome
ax._vertical_axis should stay the same when rotating plots. This worked correctly in earlier matplotlib version.
