3D Graphs in Matplotlib for Python: Basic 3D Line

Once you get comfortable with the 2D graphing, you might be interested in learning how to plot three-dimensional charts. 3D graphs add more perspective and comparison to your charts, and just plain look cool! Luckily for us, 3D graphs are pretty easy to learn and program with Matplotlib.

Here is some quick and simple, with hard-coded values, for a 3-D matplotlib wire chart.

I tried this but it showed: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'ndim'

[nostrajara]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/ABC/App Demo/Plot 3D/matplotlib plot 3D.py", line 16, in <module>
ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, X)
File "C:\Users\ABC\App Demo\Plot 3D\venv\lib\site-packages\mpl_toolkits\mplot3d\axes3d.py", line 1806, in plot_wireframe
if Z.ndim != 2:
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'ndim'
how to fix this error?

Can this video be updated to a more recent version. "positional arguments to plot_wireframe() are deprecated since 3.4 ". Thanks.

I find this error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'add_subplot' I check matplotlib folder and subplot is there. why does it show traceback @Sentdex?

How do you specify the color of the graph?

How do i make python 2.7 from anaconda to display the figure box instead of displaying it in the IPython terminal?

[himanskss]

Code isn't working new version is like this.

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

X, Y, Z = [ int(ss[0][0]), int(ss[1][0]) ], [ int(ss[0][1]), int(ss[1][1]) ], [ int(ss[0][2]), int(ss[1][2]) ]
ax.plot(X, Y, Z, 'blue')

i have list named ss.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\A 455L\Desktop\Python\ujicoba.py", line 10, in <module>
chart.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z)

if Z.ndim != 2:
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'ndim'

can you solve it? please...

[talkingbirb]

use plot instead of plot_wireframe and everything will be ok

Hi, Is there possibility to share those 3D charts in browser window using for example django web framework? But keep them responsive, not as .png?
Thanks.
