mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Line3D

class mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Line3D(xs, ys, zs, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: Line2D

3D line object.

Note

Use get_data_3d to obtain the data associated with the line. get_data, get_xdata, and get_ydata return the x- and y-coordinates of the projected 2D-line, not the x- and y-data of the 3D-line. Similarly, use set_data_3d to set the data, not set_data, set_xdata, and set_ydata.

Parameters:

xsarray-like

The x-data to be plotted.

ysarray-like

The y-data to be plotted.

zsarray-like

The z-data to be plotted.

*args, **kwargs

Additional arguments are passed to Line2D.

draw(renderer)

Draw the Artist (and its children) using the given renderer.

This has no effect if the artist is not visible (Artist.get_visible returns False).

Parameters:

rendererRendererBase subclass.

Notes

This method is overridden in the Artist subclasses.

get_data_3d()

Get the current data

Returns:

verts3dlength-3 tuple or array-like

The current data as a tuple or array-like.

set_3d_properties(zs=0, zdir='z')

Set the z position and direction of the line.

Parameters:

zsfloat or array of floats

The location along the zdir axis in 3D space to position the line.

zdir{'x', 'y', 'z'}

Plane to plot line orthogonal to. Default: 'z'. See get_dir_vector for a description of the values.

set_data_3d(*args)

Set the x, y and z data

Parameters:

xarray-like

The x-data to be plotted.

yarray-like

The y-data to be plotted.

zarray-like

The z-data to be plotted.

Notes

Accepts x, y, z arguments or a single array-like (x, y, z)
