Threeplot
HTML-based 3D plotting in Python
Threeplot is a simple 3D plotting library for python. It generates HTML files as output, which contain an interactive 3D plots based on WebGL and Three.js. Reasons to use threeplot:
-
Installation is easy. It has no dependencies whatsoever. There is no need to install Qt, wx, or any other GUI toolkit.
-
Collaboration is easy. Output is a single HTML file, which is easy to share and publish.
Installation:
$ pip install threeplotUsage:
Although this example uses numpy, threeplot itself does not depend on numpy.
import numpy as np
import threeplot
axes = threeplot.Axes()
# Generate some sinusoids in the XY plane
xs = np.linspace(-10, 10, 10)
ys = np.sin(xs * .2) * 2
zs = np.zeros(len(xs))
axes.add_series(vertices=zip(xs, ys, zs),
line_width=2,
line_color='0xff0000',
line_style='solid')
axes.add_series(vertices=zip(xs, ys + 5, zs),
line_width=5,
line_color='0x00ff00',
line_style='dashed')
axes.add_series(vertices=zip(xs, ys - 5, zs),
line_width=10,
line_color='0x555500',
line_style='dotted')
# Generate a point cloud
pts = np.random.randn(20, 3)
axes.add_series(vertices=pts,
marker_size=5,
marker_color='0x0000ff')
threeplot.dump(axes, 'out.html')
