3D Plotting in Matplotlib for Python: 3D Scatter Plot

Besides 3D wires, and planes, one of the most popular 3-dimensional graph types is 3D scatter plots. The idea of 3D scatter plots is that you can compare 3 characteristics of a data set instead of two.

This is a very informative video. Thanks for posting. I was wondering how to do plot for float numbers?

[chrisrichards]

Excellent. Thanks for this! Very helpful

[NoelBrizuela]

Thank you so much for all your tutorials, they've been super helpful. Do you happen to have any video on graphing surfaces from xyz points? Sort of like spline (u did the smoothing video for 2D) but for 3D. I haven't been able to find it among your videos.

Hi I love your tutorial! I have a question, I'm trying to plot scatter points in 3D space with updating, do you have any suggestion for that? :) 

[earlgreen]

This is so cool.  I might try this out now

[botelhorui]

thank you for sharing. Not even excel, matlab, mathematica have a good plot 3d like this simple program.

Hey, thanks for the great video, I have couple of queries:
Q.) What is the limit of Matplotlib in terms of number of data points that can be printed? When I try with 50, 000 data points it takes long time, after 1 lakh data item, it does not even show up? Are there any thresholds mentioned in documentation?

Thanks, I didn't realize matplot already had myavi-like 3d plotting built in. For my system, it was necessary to change your import of "Axes3d" to "axes3d". Don't know if it changed or you have a case-insensitive python or something.

If I want to create surface and join all points themselve how do I need to proceed

[Elzelgator]

Mate, you are the best python developer in youtube?

[sorayaanvari]

you are the best. thank you very much <3 :)

How can we add a categorical value to the points...say we have values for target 0 and 1 and we want to add that dimension too and color the plot.

how to convert from x y z to stl? using python scripts? or how to make vertics from x y z coordinate using python?

[ArnonoBen]

Hi ! Is it possible to rotate 3D plots by hand on jupyter ? It doesn't work on my side so I don't know if it's possible.
Thanks !

How to zoom, pan, how to change the center of rotation

[josephsylvan]

I have graph network how do I plot it in 3d...what must be the values of Z axis for the graph?

Sir how to get different markers in scatter plot without using subplots

[philiperiskallaleal]

Dear all,

Thank you for the video.

I was wondering whether one could apply the same concepts of your video in order to plot a 4D data (x= longitude, y=latitude, z=time, k=attribute value) in a 3D matplotlib structure. The color of the plot would be the Kth dimension, an alpha (transparency) parameter would be needed in order to be able to visualize the data within the data.

Typical cases can be found in Astronomy and remote sensing science. Typical file formats that store that kind of info are NETCDF and HDF.

I thank you for your time,

Sincerely yours,

Philipe Leal

How do you rotate your images? IDE specific maybe?

[danishsodhi]

Hey,
Can you please help in how can I embedd these 3D plots in HTML . I am using Flask framework .
Thanks in advance :)
