Matplotlib Tutorial 30 - 3d scatter plot

Key Takeaways

everybody what is going on welcome to part three of our matplotlib tutorial series in this part we're gonna be talking about is 3ds scatter plots so with this code we can actually use quite a bit of the previous code the only thing we're gonna get rid of is plotting for the wireframe so what we'll do is we'll just lose comment this out for now and the next thing that I want us to do is we need some more variables so I'm gonna well yeah I guess we'll just do X let's copy this line at least copy paste and in fact let's copy this whole thing copy paste and then the X we'll just make these all whoops make these all negatives negative negative negative negative negative just make all these negatives so they're kind of like in their own little place basically negative negative negative negative negative negative and negative and one more negative okay good enough so with scatter plots it's really quite simple you can basically will use the first set first and then we'll come on use the second set last you can do something like this X 1 dot scatter and then you pass the X the Y the Z that's really all you have to do so first we can bring that one up and so now we've got these scatters and another little cool thing I mean you can you can kind of tell but the plots that are like further away from being the closest I guess the closest ones are totally filled right they have a solid alpha and the ones that are further back have a lesser alpha and so and then as you move it that starts changing so it kind of gives you a little more feeling of depth to the to the charts and we can kind of do the same thing that we've done before with the zooms and all that to kind of look at these plots and all of that kind of stuff otherwise everything pretty much remains the same so let's close out to this and what we can do though is we can scatter another bit here so like we can do a X 1 dot scatter and then do X 2 y 2 Z 2 and on that and we can do that and we can see there's kind of two bodies here but we don't see any difference but what we can do just like we can do with any of the scatter plots we can change the color so we could say C equals R and then C equals K and then we can even we can change some stuff so you can say like marker so right now the marker is an O like that so a comma marker oh but you can like we were talking about before you can make them whatever you want so we can make them stars for all that matters so now they're stars some are black the others are red that was a bad idea on my part my bad guys so let's do blue and red something a little more let's do green in red just something that's obvious difference sorry for the colorblind folks out there still can't really see much of a difference here we might want to make the marker size a little bigger but the other thing we new stars are just hard to see let's do like Oh again and Oh try it one more time there we go so those are easier to see so we'll stick with us anyway so this is kind of our way of being able to compare three dimensions and maybe see the difference between three dimensions of data here so anyways those are three dimensional scatter plots for you not really too much more to it it's a lot like a scatter plot only with another dimension so that's it for this tutorial if you have questions or comments please feel free to leave them below otherwise as oh it seems for watching thanks for all the support and subscriptions and until next tutorial
