Saving a 3D-plot in a PDF 3D with Python
To save a 3D-plot in a PDF with Python, we can take the following steps
Steps
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
Add an 'ax' to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement.
Create u, v, x, y and z data points using numpy.
Plot a 3D wireframe.
Set the title of the plot.
Save the current figure using savefig() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
u, v = np.mgrid[0:2 * np.pi:30j, 0:np.pi:20j]
x = np.cos(u) * np.sin(v)
y = np.sin(u) * np.sin(v)
z = np.cos(v)
ax.plot_wireframe(x, y, z, color="red")
ax.set_title("Sphere")
plt.savefig("test.pdf")
plt.show()
Output
It will produce the following output −
Also, it will create a PDF called test.pdf in the project directory and save this image in that file.
