How to make a 3D scatter plot in Python?
To get a 3D plot, we can use fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') method to instantiate the axis. After that, we can use the scatter method to draw different data points on the x, y, and z axes.
Steps
Create a new figure, or activate an existing figure.
Add an `~.axes.Axes` to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement, where nrows = 1, ncols = 1, index = 1 and projection is ‘3d’.
Iterate a list of marks, xs, ys and zs, to make scatter points.
Set x, y, and z labels using set_xlabel, y_label, and z_label methods.
Use plt.show() method to plot the figure.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np np.random.seed(1000) fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') n = 100 for m, zl, zh in [('o', -50, -25), ('^', -30, -5)]: xs = (32 - 23) * np.random.rand(n) + 23 ys = (100 - 0) * np.random.rand(n) zs = (zh - zl) * np.random.rand(n) + zl ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs, marker=m) ax.set_xlabel('X Label') ax.set_ylabel('Y Label') ax.set_zlabel('Z Label') plt.show()
