If you want to stay with PyPlot, this suppresses the grids (at least with my recent install):

```julia
ax=gca()
ax[:set_axis_off]()

```

The right mouse button provides magnification (at least with Qt5 backend). The pan/zoom controls from 2D are apparently missing in the underlying Python Matplotlib 3D API.
