How can I create a 3D wireframe plot using Matplotlib?

You can create a 3D wireframe plot in Matplotlib using the Axes3D class. First, you'll need to import the necessary libraries.

What libraries do I need to import?

You need to import matplotlib.pyplot and mpl_toolkits.mplot3d. Here's a sample import statement:

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

Can you show me a simple example of a 3D wireframe plot?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

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

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))

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z)
plt.show()

What does this code do?

This code generates a 3D wireframe plot of the function Z = sin(sqrt(X² + Y²)). It creates a meshgrid for X and Y, computes Z values, and then plots the wireframe.
