3D plotting lines / markers / colors question

Hi,

What kwargs are available for plot3D and scatter3D?

Thanks,

--b

And what is the difference between plot3d and plot3D?

The former seems most "matlab" like, and was what I was looking for: a way to plot individual points and/or curves in 3d using matlab-style line formatting info like:

'ro-'

or

'go--'

I'm posting this discovery here b/c it took me a long time to find (from the cookbook I somehow started using plot3D and didn't realize there was a plot3d).

I am still unsure what args you can pass into plot3D and scatter3D to achieve similar line control. If there's a high-level place this stuff is described, it would be beneficial.

Hi,

In fact, polt3D and plot3d are the same, IIRC.
the kwargs are exactly the same as plot or scatter, as those methods are called inside plot3d ans scatter3d to make the plot.
You can use ‘ro-’, no sweat, it works like a charm - at least for me :slight_smile: -
