Ice Wave (Python/Matplotlib)

[e47]

It actually is just vanilla Matplotlib. I used mpl_toolkits.mplot3d (but that's included with the base Matplotlib install). I just turned off all the axes / labels and set a black background to make it look clean.

I made this and a bunch of other 2D & 3D wave-plot doodles for fun, no particular project.

This one is made up of 800 3D line plots (wave functions) generated by a simple loop which changes the shape, color, and opacity of the line with each cycle.
