What are some advanced plotting techniques in Matplotlib?

Matplotlib offers various advanced techniques like 3D plotting, contour plots, and animations. Which one are you interested in?

Can you explain how to create a 3D plot?

Sure! You can create a 3D plot using the mpl_toolkits.mplot3d module. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for a 3D scatter plot.

Here's a simple example:

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

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

x = np.random.rand(100)
y = np.random.rand(100)
z = np.random.rand(100)
ax.scatter(x, y, z)
plt.show()

This will create a 3D scatter plot with random points.

That looks great! How can I customize the colors of the points?

You can customize the colors by passing a color array to the scatter method. For example:

ax.scatter(x, y, z, c='r')  # All points in red

Or use an array for different colors!
