3D Cone Plot in Plotly

In plotly, a cone plot is a plot that has 3d equivalent of a 2D quiver plot. A 3d vector represents the direction and norm of the vectors.

  • 3d coordinates are X, Y, and Z which define the coordinates for a vector.
  • 3d coordinates of a vector field are  U, V, and W which is defined as the vector field.

Syntax: plotly.graph_objects.Cone(arg=None, anchor=None, autocolorscale=None, cauto=None, cmax=None, cmid=None, cmin=None, coloraxis=None, colorbar=None, colorscale=None, customdata=None, customdatasrc=None, hoverinfo=None, hoverinfosrc=None, hoverlabel=None, hovertemplate=None, hovertemplatesrc=None, hovertext=None, hovertextsrc=None, ids=None, idssrc=None, legendgroup=None, lighting=None, lightposition=None, meta=None, metasrc=None, name=None, opacity=None, reversescale=None, scene=None, showlegend=None, showscale=None, sizemode=None, sizeref=None, stream=None, text=None, textsrc=None, u=None, uid=None, uirevision=None, usrc=None, v=None, visible=None, vsrc=None, w=None, wsrc=None, x=None, xsrc=None, y=None, ysrc=None, z=None, zsrc=None, **kwargs)

Parameters:

u – Sets the x components of the vector field.

v – Sets the y components of the vector field.

w – Sets the z components of the vector field.

x – Sets the x coordinates of the vector field and of the displayed cones.

y – Sets the y coordinates of the vector field and of the displayed cones.

z – Sets the z coordinates of the vector field and of the displayed cones.

Example:

Python3




import plotly.graph_objects as go
  
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Cone(x=[3],
                             y=[1],
                             z=[4],
                             u=[1],
                             v=[7],
                             w=[2]))
  
fig.show()


Output:
