mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D   classmpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D(fig, rect=None, *args, azim=- 60, elev=30, sharez=None, proj_type='persp', box_aspect=None, computed_zorder=True, **kwargs)[source]
 
Bases: matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes 3D axes object.  Parameters 
 
figFigure


The parent figure.  
rect(float, float, float, float)


The (left, bottom, width, height) axes position.  
azimfloat, default: -60


Azimuthal viewing angle.  
elevfloat, default: 30


Elevation viewing angle.  
sharezAxes3D, optional


Other axes to share z-limits with.  
proj_type{'persp', 'ortho'}


The projection type, default 'persp'.  
computed_zorderbool, default: True


If True, the draw order is computed based on the average position of the Artists along the view direction. Set to False if you want to manually control the order in which Artists are drawn on top of each other using their zorder attribute. This can be used for fine-tuning if the automatic order does not produce the desired result. Note however, that a manual zorder will only be correct for a limited view angle. If the figure is rotated by the user, it will look wrong from certain angles.  
auto_add_to_figurebool, default: True


Prior to Matplotlib 3.4 Axes3D would add themselves to their host Figure on init. Other Axes class do not do this. This behavior is deprecated in 3.4, the default will change to False in 3.5. The keyword will be undocumented and a non-False value will be an error in 3.6.  **kwargs

   add_contourf_set(cset, zdir='z', offset=None)[source]

   apply_aspect(position=None)[source]
 
Adjust the Axes for a specified data aspect ratio. Depending on get_adjustable this will modify either the Axes box (position) or the view limits. In the former case, get_anchor will affect the position.  See also  matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_aspect

For a description of aspect ratio handling.  matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_adjustable

Set how the Axes adjusts to achieve the required aspect ratio.  matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_anchor

Set the position in case of extra space.    Notes This is called automatically when each Axes is drawn. You may need to call it yourself if you need to update the Axes position and/or view limits before the Figure is drawn. 
   auto_scale_xyz(X, Y, Z=None, had_data=None)[source]

   autoscale(enable=True, axis='both', tight=None)[source]

   autoscale_view(tight=None, scalex=True, scaley=True, scalez=True)[source]
 
Autoscale the view limits using the data limits. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.autoscale_view() for documentation. Note that this function applies to the 3D axes, and as such adds the scalez to the function arguments.

rendererRendererBase subclass.

   Notes This method is overridden in the Artist subclasses. 
   errorbar(x, y, z, zerr=None, yerr=None, xerr=None, fmt='', barsabove=False, errorevery=1, ecolor=None, elinewidth=None, capsize=None, capthick=None, xlolims=False, xuplims=False, ylolims=False, yuplims=False, zlolims=False, zuplims=False, *, data=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Plot lines and/or markers with errorbars around them. x/y/z define the data locations, and xerr/yerr/zerr define the errorbar sizes. By default, this draws the data markers/lines as well the errorbars. Use fmt='none' to draw errorbars only.  Parameters 
 
x, y, zfloat or array-like


The data positions.  
xerr, yerr, zerrfloat or array-like, shape (N,) or (2, N), optional


The errorbar sizes:  scalar: Symmetric +/- values for all data points. shape(N,): Symmetric +/-values for each data point. shape(2, N): Separate - and + values for each bar. First row contains the lower errors, the second row contains the upper errors. 
None: No errorbar.  Note that all error arrays should have positive values.  
fmtstr, default: ''


The format for the data points / data lines. See plot for details. Use 'none' (case insensitive) to plot errorbars without any data markers.  
ecolorcolor, default: None


The color of the errorbar lines. If None, use the color of the line connecting the markers.  
elinewidthfloat, default: None


The linewidth of the errorbar lines. If None, the linewidth of the current style is used.  
capsizefloat, default: rcParams["errorbar.capsize"] (default: 0.0)


The length of the error bar caps in points.  
capthickfloat, default: None


An alias to the keyword argument markeredgewidth (a.k.a. mew). This setting is a more sensible name for the property that controls the thickness of the error bar cap in points. For backwards compatibility, if mew or markeredgewidth are given, then they will over-ride capthick. This may change in future releases.  
barsabovebool, default: False


If True, will plot the errorbars above the plot symbols. Default is below.  
xlolims, ylolims, zlolimsbool, default: False


These arguments can be used to indicate that a value gives only lower limits. In that case a caret symbol is used to indicate this. lims-arguments may be scalars, or array-likes of the same length as the errors. To use limits with inverted axes, set_xlim or set_ylim must be called before errorbar(). Note the tricky parameter names: setting e.g. ylolims to True means that the y-value is a lower limit of the True value, so, only an upward-pointing arrow will be drawn!  
xuplims, yuplims, zuplimsbool, default: False


Same as above, but for controlling the upper limits.  
erroreveryint or (int, int), default: 1


draws error bars on a subset of the data. errorevery =N draws error bars on the points (x[::N], y[::N], z[::N]). errorevery =(start, N) draws error bars on the points (x[start::N], y[start::N], z[start::N]). e.g. errorevery=(6, 3) adds error bars to the data at (x[6], x[9], x[12], x[15], ...). Used to avoid overlapping error bars when two series share x-axis values.    Returns 
 
errlineslist


List of Line3DCollection instances each containing an errorbar line.  
caplineslist


List of Line3D instances each containing a capline object.  
limmarkslist


List of Line3D instances each containing a marker with an upper or lower limit.    Other Parameters 
 
dataindexable object, optional


If given, the following parameters also accept a string s, which is interpreted as data[s] (unless this raises an exception): x, y, z, xerr, yerr, zerr  **kwargs

All other keyword arguments for styling errorbar lines are passed Line3DCollection.     Examples (Source code, png, pdf)    
   format_coord(xd, yd)[source]

rendererRendererBase subclass


renderer that will be used to draw the figures (i.e. fig.canvas.get_renderer())  
bbox_extra_artistslist of Artist or None


List of artists to include in the tight bounding box. If None (default), then all artist children of the Axes are included in the tight bounding box.  
call_axes_locatorbool, default: True


If call_axes_locator is False, it does not call the _axes_locator attribute, which is necessary to get the correct bounding box. call_axes_locator=False can be used if the caller is only interested in the relative size of the tightbbox compared to the Axes bbox.  
for_layout_onlydefault: False


The bounding box will not include the x-extent of the title and the xlabel, or the y-extent of the ylabel.    Returns

Return the zaxis' tick lines as a list of Line2Ds. 
   get_zticks(*, minor=False)[source]
 
Return the zaxis' tick locations in data coordinates. 
   grid(visible=True, **kwargs)[source]

   invert_zaxis()[source]
 
Invert the z-axis. 
   locator_params(axis='both', tight=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Convenience method for controlling tick locators. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.locator_params() for full documentation. Note that this is for Axes3D objects, therefore, setting axis to 'both' will result in the parameters being set for all three axes. Also, axis can also take a value of 'z' to apply parameters to the z axis. 
   margins(*margins, x=None, y=None, z=None, tight=True)[source]
 
Convenience method to set or retrieve autoscaling margins. Call signatures: margins()
 returns xmargin, ymargin, zmargin margins(margin)

margins(xmargin, ymargin, zmargin)

margins(x=xmargin, y=ymargin, z=zmargin)

margins(..., tight=False)
 All forms above set the xmargin, ymargin and zmargin parameters. All keyword parameters are optional. A single positional argument specifies xmargin, ymargin and zmargin. Passing both positional and keyword arguments for xmargin, ymargin, and/or zmargin is invalid. The tight parameter is passed to autoscale_view(), which is executed after a margin is changed; the default here is True, on the assumption that when margins are specified, no additional padding to match tick marks is usually desired. Setting tight to None will preserve the previous setting. Specifying any margin changes only the autoscaling; for example, if xmargin is not None, then xmargin times the X data interval will be added to each end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling. 
   mouse_init(rotate_btn=1, zoom_btn=3)[source]
 
Set the mouse buttons for 3D rotation and zooming.  Parameters 
 
rotate_btnint or list of int, default: 1

ys1D array-like


y coordinates of vertices.  
zsfloat or 1D array-like


z coordinates of vertices; either one for all points or one for each point.  
zdir{'x', 'y', 'z'}, default: 'z'


When plotting 2D data, the direction to use as z ('x', 'y' or 'z').  **kwargs

Other arguments are forwarded to matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot.

When plotting 2D data, the direction to use as z ('x', 'y' or 'z').  **kwargs

Other arguments are forwarded to matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot.     
   plot_surface(X, Y, Z, *args, norm=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, lightsource=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Create a surface plot. By default it will be colored in shades of a solid color, but it also supports colormapping by supplying the cmap argument.  Note The rcount and ccount kwargs, which both default to 50, determine the maximum number of samples used in each direction. If the input data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to these numbers of points.   Note To maximize rendering speed consider setting rstride and cstride to divisors of the number of rows minus 1 and columns minus 1 respectively. For example, given 51 rows rstride can be any of the divisors of 50. Similarly, a setting of rstride and cstride equal to 1 (or rcount and ccount equal the number of rows and columns) can use the optimized path.   Parameters 
 
X, Y, Z2D arrays


Data values.  
rcount, ccountint


Maximum number of samples used in each direction. If the input data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to these numbers of points. Defaults to 50.  
rstride, cstrideint


Downsampling stride in each direction. These arguments are mutually exclusive with rcount and ccount. If only one of rstride or cstride is set, the other defaults to 10. 'classic' mode uses a default of rstride = cstride = 10 instead of the new default of rcount = ccount = 50.  
colorcolor-like


Color of the surface patches.  
cmapColormap


Colormap of the surface patches.  
facecolorsarray-like of colors.


Colors of each individual patch.  
normNormalize


Normalization for the colormap.  
vmin, vmaxfloat


Bounds for the normalization.  
shadebool, default: True


Whether to shade the facecolors. Shading is always disabled when cmap is specified.  
lightsourceLightSource


The lightsource to use when shade is True.  **kwargs

Other arguments are forwarded to Poly3DCollection.     
   plot_trisurf(*args, color=None, norm=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, lightsource=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Plot a triangulated surface. The (optional) triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either: plot_trisurf(triangulation, ...)
 where triangulation is a Triangulation object, or: plot_trisurf(X, Y, ...)
plot_trisurf(X, Y, triangles, ...)
plot_trisurf(X, Y, triangles=triangles, ...)
 in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See Triangulation for a explanation of these possibilities. The remaining arguments are: plot_trisurf(..., Z)
 where Z is the array of values to contour, one per point in the triangulation.  Parameters 
 
X, Y, Zarray-like


Data values as 1D arrays.  color

Color of the surface patches.  cmap

A colormap for the surface patches.  
normNormalize


An instance of Normalize to map values to colors.  
vmin, vmaxfloat, default: None


Minimum and maximum value to map.  
shadebool, default: True


Whether to shade the facecolors. Shading is always disabled when cmap is specified.  
lightsourceLightSource


The lightsource to use when shade is True.  **kwargs

All other arguments are passed on to Poly3DCollection     Examples (Source code, png, pdf)    (Source code, png, pdf)    
   plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, *args, **kwargs)[source]
 
Plot a 3D wireframe.  Note The rcount and ccount kwargs, which both default to 50, determine the maximum number of samples used in each direction. If the input data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to these numbers of points.   Parameters 
 
X, Y, Z2D arrays


Data values.  
rcount, ccountint


Maximum number of samples used in each direction. If the input data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to these numbers of points. Setting a count to zero causes the data to be not sampled in the corresponding direction, producing a 3D line plot rather than a wireframe plot. Defaults to 50.  
rstride, cstrideint


Downsampling stride in each direction. These arguments are mutually exclusive with rcount and ccount. If only one of rstride or cstride is set, the other defaults to 1. Setting a stride to zero causes the data to be not sampled in the corresponding direction, producing a 3D line plot rather than a wireframe plot. 'classic' mode uses a default of rstride = cstride = 1 instead of the new default of rcount = ccount = 50.  **kwargs

Other arguments are forwarded to Line3DCollection.     
   quiver(X, Y, Z, U, V, W, /, length=1, arrow_length_ratio=.3, pivot='tail', normalize=False, **kwargs)[source]
 
Plot a 3D field of arrows. The arguments could be array-like or scalars, so long as they they can be broadcast together. The arguments can also be masked arrays. If an element in any of argument is masked, then that corresponding quiver element will not be plotted.  Parameters 
 
X, Y, Zarray-like

U, V, Warray-like


The x, y and z components of the arrow vectors.

arrow_length_ratiofloat, default: 0.3


The ratio of the arrow head with respect to the quiver.  
pivot{'tail', 'middle', 'tip'}, default: 'tail'


The part of the arrow that is at the grid point; the arrow rotates about this point, hence the name pivot.  
normalizebool, default: False


Whether all arrows are normalized to have the same length, or keep the lengths defined by u, v, and w.

   set_aspect(aspect, adjustable=None, anchor=None, share=False)[source]
 
Set the aspect ratios. Axes 3D does not current support any aspect but 'auto' which fills the axes with the data limits. To simulate having equal aspect in data space, set the ratio of your data limits to match the value of get_box_aspect. To control box aspect ratios use set_box_aspect.  Parameters 
 
aspect{'auto'}


Possible values:   
value description   
'auto' automatic; fill the position rectangle with data.    
adjustableNone


Currently ignored by Axes3D If not None, this defines which parameter will be adjusted to meet the required aspect. See set_adjustable for further details.  
anchorNone or str or 2-tuple of float, optional


If not None, this defines where the Axes will be drawn if there is extra space due to aspect constraints. The most common way to to specify the anchor are abbreviations of cardinal directions:   
value description   
'C' centered  
'SW' lower left corner  
'S' middle of bottom edge  
'SE' lower right corner  
etc.    See set_anchor for further details.  
sharebool, default: False


If True, apply the settings to all shared Axes.      See also  mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D.set_box_aspect
  
   set_autoscale_on(b)[source]
 
Set whether autoscaling is applied to each axis on the next draw or call to Axes.autoscale_view.  Parameters 
 
bbool

   
   set_autoscalez_on(b)[source]
 
Set whether the z-axis is autoscaled on the next draw or call to Axes.autoscale_view.  Parameters 
 
bbool

   
   set_axis_off()[source]
 
Turn the x- and y-axis off. This affects the axis lines, ticks, ticklabels, grid and axis labels. 
   set_axis_on()[source]
 
Turn the x- and y-axis on. This affects the axis lines, ticks, ticklabels, grid and axis labels. 
   set_box_aspect(aspect, *, zoom=1)[source]
 
Set the axes box aspect. The box aspect is the ratio of height to width in display units for each face of the box when viewed perpendicular to that face. This is not to be confused with the data aspect (which for Axes3D is always 'auto'). The default ratios are 4:4:3 (x:y:z). To simulate having equal aspect in data space, set the box aspect to match your data range in each dimension. zoom controls the overall size of the Axes3D in the figure.  Parameters 
 
aspect3-tuple of floats or None


Changes the physical dimensions of the Axes3D, such that the ratio of the axis lengths in display units is x:y:z. If None, defaults to 4:4:3  
zoomfloat


Control overall size of the Axes3D in the figure.     
   set_frame_on(b)[source]
 
Set whether the 3D axes panels are drawn.  Parameters 
 
bbool

   
   set_proj_type(proj_type)[source]
 
Set the projection type.  Parameters 
 
proj_type{'persp', 'ortho'}

   
   set_title(label, fontdict=None, loc='center', **kwargs)[source]
 
Set a title for the Axes. Set one of the three available Axes titles. The available titles are positioned above the Axes in the center, flush with the left edge, and flush with the right edge.  Parameters 
 
labelstr


Text to use for the title  
fontdictdict


A dictionary controlling the appearance of the title text, the default fontdict is: {'fontsize': rcParams['axes.titlesize'],
 'fontweight': rcParams['axes.titleweight'],
 'color': rcParams['axes.titlecolor'],
 'verticalalignment': 'baseline',
 'horizontalalignment': loc}
  
loc{'center', 'left', 'right'}, default: rcParams["axes.titlelocation"] (default: 'center')


Which title to set.  
yfloat, default: rcParams["axes.titley"] (default: None)


Vertical Axes loation for the title (1.0 is the top). If None (the default), y is determined automatically to avoid decorators on the Axes.  
padfloat, default: rcParams["axes.titlepad"] (default: 6.0)


The offset of the title from the top of the Axes, in points.    Returns 
 Text

The matplotlib text instance representing the title    Other Parameters

   set_top_view()[source]

   set_xlim(left=None, right=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, xmin=None, xmax=None)[source]
 
Alias for set_xlim3d. 
   set_xlim3d(left=None, right=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, xmin=None, xmax=None)[source]
 
Set 3D x limits. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xlim() for full documentation. 
   set_xmargin(m)[source]
 
Set padding of X data limits prior to autoscaling. m times the data interval will be added to each end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling. For example, if your data is in the range [0, 2], a factor of m = 0.1 will result in a range [-0.2, 2.2]. Negative values -0.5 < m < 0 will result in clipping of the data range. I.e. for a data range [0, 2], a factor of m = -0.1 will result in a range [0.2, 1.8].  Parameters 
 
mfloat greater than -0.5

   
   set_xscale(value, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set the x-axis scale.  Parameters 
 
value{"linear"}


The axis scale type to apply. 3D axes currently only support linear scales; other scales yield nonsensical results.  **kwargs

Keyword arguments are nominally forwarded to the scale class, but none of them is applicable for linear scales.     
   set_ylim(bottom=None, top=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, ymin=None, ymax=None)[source]
 
Alias for set_ylim3d. 
   set_ylim3d(bottom=None, top=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, ymin=None, ymax=None)[source]
 
Set 3D y limits. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_ylim() for full documentation. 
   set_ymargin(m)[source]
 
Set padding of Y data limits prior to autoscaling. m times the data interval will be added to each end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling. For example, if your data is in the range [0, 2], a factor of m = 0.1 will result in a range [-0.2, 2.2]. Negative values -0.5 < m < 0 will result in clipping of the data range. I.e. for a data range [0, 2], a factor of m = -0.1 will result in a range [0.2, 1.8].  Parameters 
 
mfloat greater than -0.5

   
   set_yscale(value, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set the y-axis scale.  Parameters 
 
value{"linear"}


The axis scale type to apply. 3D axes currently only support linear scales; other scales yield nonsensical results.  **kwargs

Keyword arguments are nominally forwarded to the scale class, but none of them is applicable for linear scales.     
   set_zbound(lower=None, upper=None)[source]
 
Set the lower and upper numerical bounds of the z-axis. This method will honor axes inversion regardless of parameter order. It will not change the autoscaling setting (get_autoscalez_on()). 
   set_zlabel(zlabel, fontdict=None, labelpad=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set zlabel. See doc for set_ylabel for description. 
   set_zlim(bottom=None, top=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, zmin=None, zmax=None)[source]
 
Alias for set_zlim3d. 
   set_zlim3d(bottom=None, top=None, emit=True, auto=False, *, zmin=None, zmax=None)[source]
 
Set 3D z limits. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_ylim() for full documentation 
   set_zmargin(m)[source]
 
Set padding of Z data limits prior to autoscaling. m times the data interval will be added to each end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling. accepts: float in range 0 to 1 
   set_zscale(value, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set the z-axis scale.  Parameters 
 
value{"linear"}


The axis scale type to apply. 3D axes currently only support linear scales; other scales yield nonsensical results.  **kwargs

Keyword arguments are nominally forwarded to the scale class, but none of them is applicable for linear scales.     
   set_zticklabels(labels, *, fontdict=None, minor=False, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set the zaxis' labels with list of string labels.  Warning This method should only be used after fixing the tick positions using Axes3D.set_zticks. Otherwise, the labels may end up in unexpected positions.   Parameters 
 
labelslist of str


The label texts.  
fontdictdict, optional


A dictionary controlling the appearance of the ticklabels. The default fontdict is: {'fontsize': rcParams['axes.titlesize'],
 'fontweight': rcParams['axes.titleweight'],
 'verticalalignment': 'baseline',
 'horizontalalignment': loc}
  
minorbool, default: False


Whether to set the minor ticklabels rather than the major ones.    Returns 
 list of Text


The labels.    Other Parameters 
 
**kwargsText properties.

   
   set_zticks(ticks, labels=None, *, minor=False, **kwargs)[source]
 
Set the zaxis' tick locations and optionally labels. If necessary, the view limits of the Axis are expanded so that all given ticks are visible.  Parameters 
 
tickslist of floats


List of tick locations.  
labelslist of str, optional


List of tick labels. If not set, the labels show the data value.  
minorbool, default: False


If False, set the major ticks; if True, the minor ticks.  **kwargs

Text properties for the labels. These take effect only if you pass labels. In other cases, please use tick_params.     Notes The mandatory expansion of the view limits is an intentional design choice to prevent the surprise of a non-visible tick. If you need other limits, you should set the limits explicitly after setting the ticks. 
   stem(x, y, z, *, linefmt='C0-', markerfmt='C0o', basefmt='C3-', bottom=0, label=None, orientation='z', data=None)[source]
 
Create a 3D stem plot. A stem plot draws lines perpendicular to a baseline, and places markers at the heads. By default, the baseline is defined by x and y, and stems are drawn vertically from bottom to z.  Parameters 
 
x, y, zarray-like


The positions of the heads of the stems. The stems are drawn along the orientation-direction from the baseline at bottom (in the orientation-coordinate) to the heads. By default, the x and y positions are used for the baseline and z for the head position, but this can be changed by orientation.  
linefmtstr, default: 'C0-'


A string defining the properties of the vertical lines. Usually, this will be a color or a color and a linestyle:   
Character Line Style   
'-' solid line  
'--' dashed line  
'-.' dash-dot line  
':' dotted line   Note: While it is technically possible to specify valid formats other than color or color and linestyle (e.g. 'rx' or '-.'), this is beyond the intention of the method and will most likely not result in a reasonable plot.  
markerfmtstr, default: 'C0o'


A string defining the properties of the markers at the stem heads.

 The default transform specifies that text is in data coords, alternatively, you can specify text in axis coords ((0, 0) is lower-left and (1, 1) is upper-right). The example below places text in the center of the Axes: >>> text(0.5, 0.5, 'matplotlib', horizontalalignment='center',
...      verticalalignment='center', transform=ax.transAxes)
 You can put a rectangular box around the text instance (e.g., to set a background color) by using the keyword bbox. bbox is a dictionary of Rectangle properties. For example: >>> text(x, y, s, bbox=dict(facecolor='red', alpha=0.5))
 
   text3D(x, y, z, s, zdir=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Add text to the plot. kwargs will be passed on to Axes.text, except for the zdir keyword, which sets the direction to be used as the z direction. 
   tick_params(axis='both', **kwargs)[source]
 
Convenience method for changing the appearance of ticks and tick labels. See matplotlib.axes.Axes.tick_params() for more complete documentation. The only difference is that setting axis to 'both' will mean that the settings are applied to all three axes. Also, the axis parameter also accepts a value of 'z', which would mean to apply to only the z-axis. Also, because of how Axes3D objects are drawn very differently from regular 2D axes, some of these settings may have ambiguous meaning. For simplicity, the 'z' axis will accept settings as if it was like the 'y' axis.  Note Axes3D currently ignores some of these settings.

Other arguments are forwarded to matplotlib.axes.Axes.tricontourf.    Returns 
 matplotlib.tri.tricontour.TriContourSet
   
   tunit_cube(vals=None, M=None)[source]

   tunit_edges(vals=None, M=None)[source]

   unit_cube(vals=None)[source]

   update_datalim(xys, **kwargs)[source]
 
Extend the dataLim Bbox to include the given points. If no data is set currently, the Bbox will ignore its limits and set the bound to be the bounds of the xydata (xys). Otherwise, it will compute the bounds of the union of its current data and the data in xys.  Parameters 
 
xys2D array-like


The points to include in the data limits Bbox. This can be either a list of (x, y) tuples or a Nx2 array.  
updatex, updateybool, default: True


Whether to update the x/y limits.     
   view_init(elev=None, azim=None, vertical_axis='z')[source]
 
Set the elevation and azimuth of the axes in degrees (not radians). This can be used to rotate the axes programmatically.  Parameters 
 
elevfloat, default: None


The elevation angle in the vertical plane in degrees. If None then the initial value as specified in the Axes3D constructor is used.  
azimfloat, default: None


The azimuth angle in the horizontal plane in degrees. If None then the initial value as specified in the Axes3D constructor is used.  
vertical_axis{"z", "x", "y"}, default: "z"


The axis to align vertically. azim rotates about this axis.     
   voxels([x, y, z, ]/, filled, facecolors=None, edgecolors=None, **kwargs)[source]
 
Plot a set of filled voxels All voxels are plotted as 1x1x1 cubes on the axis, with filled[0, 0, 0] placed with its lower corner at the origin. Occluded faces are not plotted.  Parameters 
 
filled3D np.array of bool


A 3D array of values, with truthy values indicating which voxels to fill  
x, y, z3D np.array, optional


The coordinates of the corners of the voxels. This should broadcast to a shape one larger in every dimension than the shape of filled. These can be used to plot non-cubic voxels. If not specified, defaults to increasing integers along each axis, like those returned by indices(). As indicated by the / in the function signature, these arguments can only be passed positionally.  
facecolors, edgecolorsarray-like, optional


The color to draw the faces and edges of the voxels. Can only be passed as keyword arguments. These parameters can be:  A single color value, to color all voxels the same color. This can be either a string, or a 1D rgb/rgba array 
None, the default, to use a single color for the faces, and the style default for the edges. A 3D ndarray of color names, with each item the color for the corresponding voxel. The size must match the voxels. A 4D ndarray of rgb/rgba data, with the components along the last axis.   
shadebool, default: True


Whether to shade the facecolors. Shading is always disabled when cmap is specified.  
lightsourceLightSource


The lightsource to use when shade is True.  **kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to pass onto Poly3DCollection.    Returns 
 
facesdict


A dictionary indexed by coordinate, where faces[i, j, k] is a Poly3DCollection of the faces drawn for the voxel filled[i, j, k]. If no faces were drawn for a given voxel, either because it was not asked to be drawn, or it is fully occluded, then (i, j, k) not in faces.

   propertyw_xaxis[source]

   propertyw_yaxis[source]

   propertyw_zaxis[source]

   zaxis_date(tz=None)[source]
 
Set up axis ticks and labels to treat data along the zaxis as dates.  Parameters 
 
tzstr or datetime.tzinfo, default: rcParams["timezone"] (default: 'UTC')


The timezone used to create date labels.     Notes This function is merely provided for completeness, but 3D axes do not support dates for ticks, and so this may not work as expected. 
   zaxis_inverted()[source]
 
Returns True if the z-axis is inverted.
