3D Graph Types and Uses Explained

This document discusses different types of 3D graphs that can be created in Python, including scatter plots, bubble plots, and line plots to visualize continuous and categorical numerical data trends over time. It also describes surface plots to visualize mathematical functions and geospatial data, streamtube plots for vector fields and fluid dynamics, volume charts to represent 3D figures with transparency, and trisurface plots using triangular meshes for irregular or sparse surface data analysis.

3D Graphs

using
1. Scatter plot

Scatterplot are used for visualize the


relation between continuous numerical
data

2. Bubble plot

Bubble plot is a variation of scatterplot


used for categorical or discrete
numerical data.
3. Line plot

Line plots are used to represent a


trend. For example, how the data
change over the year
4. Surface plot

Surface plot are commonly used


to visualize mathematical
function and to do geospatial
analysis.

It is only available in the


graph_objects module
5. Streamtube plot

Streamtube chart are used to


represent the flow or the vector
field. It is commonly used in the
field of computational fluids
dynamics
6. Volume Charts

Volume chart are used to represent


figure in 3 dimensions. They are
similar with isobar charts but with
more transparency.

7. Trisurface plots

They are used to represent the figure


with a mesh of triangles.
They are particularly useful when
dealing with irregular or sparse data
and enable the exploration and
analysis of complex surface
structures.
Thank for reading until the end 
