Only plot of 3d shape using matplotlib

Question

I had a problem when I was drawing a three-dimensional shape using matplotlib from python. Using the following python function, I got this figure:

Here X, Yare mesh grids, and Zand Z_are functions Xand Y Cdenotes the color of the surface.

import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from matplotlib import cm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def plot(X, Y, Z, Z_, C):
   fig = plt.figure()
   ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
   surf = ax.plot_surface(
           X, Y, Z, rstride=1, cstride=1,
           facecolors=cm.jet(C),
           linewidth=0, antialiased=False, shade=False)
   surf_ = ax.plot_surface(
           X, Y, Z_, rstride=1, cstride=1,
           facecolors=cm.jet(C),
          linewidth=0, antialiased=False, shade=False)                    
   ax.view_init(elev=7,azim=45)
   plt.show()

But now I want to cut this digit horizontally, and only the part remains where z is between -1 and 2.

What I want with gnuplot is:

I tried ax.set_zlim3dand ax.set_zlim, but not one of them gives me the desired number. Does anyone know how to do this using Python?

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

# generate dummy data (graphene tight binding band structure)
kvec = np.linspace(-np.pi,np.pi,101)
kx,ky = np.meshgrid(kvec,kvec)
E = np.sqrt(1+4*np.cos(3*kx/2)*np.cos(np.sqrt(3)/2*ky) + 4*np.cos(np.sqrt(3)/2*ky)**2)

# plot full dataset
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.plot_surface(kx,ky,E,cmap='viridis',vmin=-E.max(),vmax=E.max(),rstride=1,cstride=1)
ax.plot_surface(kx,ky,-E,cmap='viridis',vmin=-E.max(),vmax=E.max(),rstride=1,cstride=1)



# focus on Dirac cones
Elim = 1  #threshold
E[E>Elim] = np.nan

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
#ax.plot_surface(kx2,ky2,E2,cmap='viridis',vmin=-Elim,vmax=Elim)
#ax.plot_surface(kx2,ky2,-E2,cmap='viridis',vmin=-Elim,vmax=Elim)
ax.plot_surface(kx,ky,E,cmap='viridis',rstride=1,cstride=1,vmin=-Elim,vmax=Elim)
ax.plot_surface(kx,ky,-E,cmap='viridis',rstride=1,cstride=1,vmin=-Elim,vmax=Elim)

plt.show()

from matplotlib.cm import get_cmap

# create a color mapping manually
Elim = 1  #threshold
cmap = get_cmap('viridis')
colors_top = cmap((E + Elim)/2/Elim) # listed colormap that maps E from [-Elim, Elim] to [0.0, 1.0] for color mapping
colors_bott = cmap((-E + Elim)/2/Elim) # same for -E branch
colors_top[E > Elim, -1] = 0 # set outlying faces to be invisible (100% transparent)
colors_bott[-E < -Elim, -1] = 0

# in nature you would instead have something like this:
#zmin,zmax = -1,1 # where to cut the _single_ input surface (x,y,z)
#cmap = get_cmap('viridis')
#colors = cmap((z - zmin)/(zmax - zmin))
#colors[(z < zmin) | (z > zmax), -1] = 0
# then plot_surface(x, y, z, facecolors=colors, ...)

# or for your specific case where you have X, Y, Z and C:
#colors = get_cmap('viridis')(C)
#colors[(z < zmin) | (z > zmax), -1] = 0
# then plot_surface(x, y, z, facecolors=colors, ...)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
# pass the mapped colours as the facecolors keyword arg
s1 = ax.plot_surface(kx, ky, E, facecolors=colors_top, rstride=1, cstride=1)
s2 = ax.plot_surface(kx, ky, -E, facecolors=colors_bott, rstride=1, cstride=1)
# but now we need to manually hide the invisible part of the surface:
ax.set_zlim(-Elim, Elim)

plt.show()
