shade Whether to shade the face colors
As with two-dimensional plots, the line style can be replaced by single points or, as in
what follows, single triangles. Figure 5-24 plots the same data as a 3D scatter plot, but
now also with a different viewing angle, using the view_init function to set it:
In [ 36 ]: fig = plt.figure(figsize=( 8 , 5 ))
ax = fig.add_subplot( 111 , projection=‘3d’)
ax.view_init( 30 , 60 )
ax.scatter(strike, ttm, iv, zdir=‘z’, s= 25 ,
c=‘b’, marker=‘^’)
ax.set_xlabel(‘strike’)
ax.set_ylabel(‘time-to-maturity’)
ax.set_zlabel(‘implied volatility’)
