[PLUG] looking for a 3d surface plotting program (besides gnuplot)

[American Citizen]

I am using matplotlib, numpy, pandas all under python 3.6

Now if I could just get the graphics backend under matplotlib to work. 
the current default rcParams['backend'] = 'agg' won't pop up any 
graphics window, I am forced to do a direct file write to save the image.
