Creating a 3D plot from a 3D numpy array

Creating a 3D plot from a 3D numpy array

To create a 3D plot from a 3D NumPy array, you can use the matplotlib library, which provides tools for creating various types of plots, including 3D plots. Here's how you can create a simple 3D surface plot using matplotlib:

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D # Create a 3D NumPy array (for example, a 3D surface) x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100) y = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100) X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y) Z = np.sin(np.sqrt(X**2 + Y**2)) # Create a 3D plot fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.gca(projection='3d') # Plot the surface surf = ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, cmap='viridis') # Add color bar which maps values to colors fig.colorbar(surf) # Set labels for the axes ax.set_xlabel('X-axis') ax.set_ylabel('Y-axis') ax.set_zlabel('Z-axis') # Show the plot plt.show()

In this example:

  1. We first create a 3D NumPy array, Z, which represents a surface defined by the equation Z = sin(sqrt(X^2 + Y^2)). This array is defined over a grid of X and Y values.

  2. We create a matplotlib 3D plot by creating a figure and a 3D axis object.

  3. We use the plot_surface function to plot the surface defined by the X, Y, and Z arrays.

  4. We add a color bar to the plot to show how the color corresponds to the Z values.

  5. We set labels for the X, Y, and Z axes.

  6. Finally, we use plt.show() to display the 3D plot.

You can customize the X, Y, and Z arrays and adjust the appearance of the plot according to your specific data and requirements.
