3D Surface Plots
Surface plot is those plot which has three-dimensions data which is X, Y, and Z. Rather than showing individual data points, the surface plot has a functional relationship between dependent variable Y and have two independent variables X and Z. This plot is used to distinguish between dependent and independent variables.
Example:
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as go import numpy as np # Data to be plotted x = np.outer(np.linspace( - 2 , 2 , 30 ), np.ones( 30 )) y = x.copy().T z = np.cos(x * * 2 + y * * 2 ) # plotting the figure fig = go.Figure(data = [go.Surface(x = x, y = y, z = z)]) fig.show() |

Plotly tutorial
Plotly library in Python is an open-source library that can be used for data visualization and understanding data simply and easily. Plotly supports various types of plots like line charts, scatter plots, histograms, box plots, etc. So you all must be wondering why Plotly is over other visualization tools or libraries. So here are some reasons :
- Plotly has hover tool capabilities that allow us to detect any outliers or anomalies in a large number of data points.
- It is visually attractive and can be accepted by a wide range of audiences.
- Plotly generally allows us endless customization of our graphs and makes our plot more meaningful and understandable for others.
This tutorial aims at providing you the insight about Plotly with the help of the huge dataset explaining the Plotly from basics to advance and covering all the popularly used charts.
