How can I make a 3D line plot?

matplotlib, matplotlib-3d, python

Solution

I guess, you want to plot 4 lines. Then you can try

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

for i in range(4):
    ax.plot([VecStart_x[i], VecEnd_x[i]], [VecStart_y[i],VecEnd_y[i]],zs=[VecStart_z[i],VecEnd_z[i]])

As Nicolas has suggested, do have a look at the matplotlib gallery.

Problem

I want to generate the lines, which I get from an array in 3D. Here is the code: ``` VecStart_x = [0,1,3,5] VecStart_y = [2,2,5,5] VecStart_z = [0,1,1,5] VecEnd_x = [1,2,-1,6] VecEnd_y = [3,1,-2,7] VecEnd_z =[1,0,4,9] import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') ax.plot([VecStart_x ,VecEnd_x],[VecStart_y,VecEnd_y],[VecStart_z,VecEnd_z]) plt.show() Axes3D.plot() ``` I get that error: ValueError: third arg must be a format string
