Create 3D Scatter Plot -- Python Plotly

Learn to create the 3D scatter plot in under 25 lines of code. We will also animate the plot, and save as html to share with others. Lastly, we will review when it is best to use or avoid the 3D plot. Open Links below...

Best tutorials on plotly !Thanks again

[sacthitheranga]

Thanks. Clearly explained and easy to follow.

Adam, thank you very much for your tutorials. Greetings from Argentina!

wow... after I watched this video... I totally did not want to learn about plotly anymore... I just wanted to know how to get those brilliant sounds that appeared when the bullet list continues in the beginning of the video :D

I want to ask is there any way to show the centroids plot (used in k-means) in the 3d scatter plot?

[juanpetert-yuune]

the scatter 3d doesn't show because of the log_x=True. What should i do? when i change the log into log_y and log_z it works

Hi, Your contents were so helpful!!
Is there a simple way to make a 3D-plot with same xyz-axis size? like a cube.

Hi, thanks for good
explanation. Do you know how to disable axies rotation duriong rotation of the scene >?

[axe.n_]

HEYY.... CAN YOU EXPLAIN OR HELP ME TO SAVE THIS AS ANIMATION VIDEO FILE !?

[Lotaristo]

Ha, in every video we can hear some police sirens XD

[johnylemon]

Keep teaching us bro, have you thought about tutorial on dash mobile app?

[preciousogunje]

This is awesome and i have learnt a lot so far.... I have somewhat of big data and i was looking to displaying my high dimensionality data points through through t_SNE on plotly.... any tip on how i could go about that ?

[sathyanarayanankulasekaran]

is there a way to highlight a selected point ?

Hi can I do this with RGB values?

X = [1, 2, 3, 4]
Y = [1, 2, 3, 4]
Z = [1, 2, 3, 4]
C = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 128], [255, 255, 102], [0, 7, 65]])
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection = '3d')

ax.scatter(X, Y, Z, c = C/255.0)
ax.set_xlabel('x axis')
ax.set_ylabel('y axis')
ax.set_zlabel('z axis')
plt.show()

this but place my whole RGB colour list in C parameter? And changew X, Y, Z to n=(how many are in the list)

I'm trying to plot two sets of xyz data on the same 3D graph, Ik how to do this on pyplot but how can I do this on plotly? (I'm learning plotly bc I wanna share my graphs without sending people my whole code...)

Please, go straight to the point....
(5:50 You're welcome!)
