How can I create 3D plots in Python?

You can use libraries like Matplotlib and Plotly to create 3D plots in Python. Would you like a specific example?

Yes, can you show me a simple example using Matplotlib?

Sure! Here's a basic 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.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
y = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
z = np.sin(np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2))
ax.plot_surface(x, y, z, cmap='viridis')
plt.show()

This will create a 3D surface plot of a sine wave.

That looks great! Can I customize the colors of the plot?

Absolutely! You can change the cmap parameter in the plot_surface method to any colormap you like. For example, try cmap='plasma' for a different color scheme.

Thanks! What other types of 3D plots can I create?

You can create scatter plots, wireframe plots, and contour plots in 3D as well. Would you like examples of those?
