How can we make 3-D Graphs using Plotly

Install Matplotlib:
If you haven't already installed Matplotlib, you can do so using pip →
pip install matplotlib
Plotting 3D Graph:
Here's a simple example of how to plot a 3D graph using
Matplotlib. This example assumes you have three lists of readings
representing the x, y, and z coordinates.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

# Sample data
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
z = [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

# Create a new figure

fig = plt.figure()

# Add a 3D subplot
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

# Plot the data

ax.scatter(x, y, z, c='r', marker='o')

# Set labels
ax.set_xlabel('X Label')
ax.set_ylabel('Y Label')
ax.set_zlabel('Z Label')

# Show the plot

plt.show()

• We import matplotlib.pyplot and Axes3D from

mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.
• We create sample data for x, y, and z.
• We create a new figure and add a 3D subplot.
• We use the scatter method to create a 3D scatter plot.
• We set labels for the x, y, and z axes.
• We display the plot using plt.show().

Example Using Plotly

Plotly is another powerful library for creating interactive plots.

Install Plotly:
If you haven't already installed Plotly, you can do so using pip: → pip
install plotly
import plotly.graph_objects as go
# Sample data
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
z = [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

# Create a 3D scatter plot

fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter3d(x=x, y=y, z=z, mode='markers',
marker=dict(size=5, color='blue'))])

# Set labels
fig.update_layout(scene=dict(
xaxis_title='X Label',
yaxis_title='Y Label',
zaxis_title='Z Label'),
title='3D Scatter Plot')

# Show the plot

fig.show()

1. We import plotly.graph_objects.
2. We create sample data for x, y, and z.
3. We create a 3D scatter plot using go.Scatter3d.
4. We set labels for the x, y, and z axes and add a title.
5. We display the plot using fig.show().
6. Both Matplotlib and Plotly offer powerful tools for creating 3D
plots, and you can choose the one that best fits your needs
