python - Plot normal distribution in 3D

I am trying to plot the comun distribution of two normal distributed variables.

The code below plots one normal distributed variable. What would the code be for plotting two normal distributed variables?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab
import math

mu = 0
variance = 1
sigma = math.sqrt(variance)
x = np.linspace(-3, 3, 100)
plt.plot(x,mlab.normpdf(x, mu, sigma))

plt.show()

It sounds like what you're looking for is a Multivariate Normal Distribution. This is implemented in scipy as scipy.stats.multivariate_normal. It's important to remember that you are passing a covariance matrix to the function. So to keep things simple keep the off diagonal elements as zero:

[X variance ,     0    ]
[     0     ,Y Variance]

Here is an example using this function and generating a 3D plot of the resulting distribution. I add the colormap to make seeing the curves easier but feel free to remove it.

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

#Parameters to set
mu_x = 0
variance_x = 3

mu_y = 0
variance_y = 15

#Create grid and multivariate normal
x = np.linspace(-10,10,500)
y = np.linspace(-10,10,500)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
pos = np.empty(X.shape + (2,))
pos[:, :, 0] = X; pos[:, :, 1] = Y
rv = multivariate_normal([mu_x, mu_y], [[variance_x, 0], [0, variance_y]])

#Make a 3D plot
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, rv.pdf(pos),cmap='viridis',linewidth=0)
ax.set_xlabel('X axis')
ax.set_ylabel('Y axis')
ax.set_zlabel('Z axis')
plt.show()

Giving you this plot: enter image description here

Edit the method used below was deprecated in Matplotlib v2.2 and removed in v3.1

A simpler version is available through matplotlib.mlab.bivariate_normal It takes the following arguments so you don't need to worry about matrices matplotlib.mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, sigmax=1.0, sigmay=1.0, mux=0.0, muy=0.0, sigmaxy=0.0) Here X, and Y are again the result of a meshgrid so using this to recreate the above plot:

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

#Parameters to set
mu_x = 0
sigma_x = np.sqrt(3)

mu_y = 0
sigma_y = np.sqrt(15)

#Create grid and multivariate normal
x = np.linspace(-10,10,500)
y = np.linspace(-10,10,500)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
Z = bivariate_normal(X,Y,sigma_x,sigma_y,mu_x,mu_y)

#Make a 3D plot
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z,cmap='viridis',linewidth=0)
ax.set_xlabel('X axis')
ax.set_ylabel('Y axis')
ax.set_zlabel('Z axis')
plt.show()
