Thanks a lot Chilichiller and Julian. Your examples are very useful to me at present, because I am working on a little project about 3D representation of matrices with matplotlib, and Poly3DCollection seems suitable for the task.

A little note, that maybe can be useful to future readers. Running your examples in Python 3 gives TypeError: 'zip' object is not subscriptable.

The simplest solution is to wrap the return value of zip in a call to list() (as indicated by "Dive Into Python 3": http://www.diveintopython3.net/porting-code-to-python-3-with-2to3.html).
