How can I create 3D plots using Matplotlib?

You can create 3D plots in Matplotlib using the mpl_toolkits.mplot3d module. First, you'll need to import it.

What are the basic steps to create a simple 3D scatter plot?

To create a 3D scatter plot, follow these steps: 1. Import the necessary libraries. 2. Create a figure and a 3D axis. 3. Use the scatter method to plot your data.

Can you show me a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.scatter(x, y, z)
plt.show()

What if I want to customize the colors and sizes of the points?

You can customize the colors and sizes by passing additional parameters to the scatter method, like this:

ax.scatter(x, y, z, c='r', s=100)  # 'c' for color, 's' for size
