I think adding third-dimension data would solve or mitigate the other issues, because full-color anaglyphs are possible, although at a reduced degree of subjective separation between the views.
Thanks for pointing out to me that an anaglyphic option is present, which I managed not to notice the first time.
Anyway, with third-dimension data, the anaglyph option ought to work -- for hard-core, old-fashioned red-blue eyeglass wearers. :)
There's some math at the bottom of my matplotlib extension for anaglyphs if you want to play around: https://github.com/scottshambaugh/mpl_stereo
Thanks! The 3D presets work, they provide good anaglyphic results. I didn't notice the presets option on my first visit.
So ... nice! Even with colors enabled, the 3D effect is clearly visible with red/cyan glasses.
Anyway, it's a nice online resource.
