What are some examples of 3D plots using Plotly?

Plotly offers various 3D plot types, including scatter plots, surface plots, and mesh plots. Would you like to see specific examples?

Yes, can you show me a 3D scatter plot example?

Sure! Here's a simple example of a 3D scatter plot in Plotly:

import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

# Sample data
data = pd.DataFrame({
    'x': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    'y': [5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
    'z': [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
})

fig = px.scatter_3d(data, x='x', y='y', z='z', title='3D Scatter Plot')
fig.show()

This will create a 3D scatter plot with points at the specified coordinates.

That looks great! Can you also provide a surface plot example?

Absolutely! Here's an example of a 3D surface plot:

import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objects as go

# Create grid data
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 = go.Figure(data=[go.Surface(z=z, x=x, y=y)])
fig.update_layout(title='3D Surface Plot', scene=dict(zaxis=dict(range=[-1, 1])))
fig.show()

This will generate a 3D surface plot based on the sine function.
