Looking at various 3D plot types

This section describes how to add line and scatter plots and how to add 3D contour types.

How to rotate the camera in 3D plots

We have a parametric spiral curve that ascends along the different axes which is described in the following points:

1. We have spiral curve along the z axis, as shown in the following code:

# Line plot
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
theta = np.linspace(-4 * np.pi, 4 * np.pi, 100)
z = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100)
r = z**2 + 1
x = r * np.sin(theta)
y = r * np.cos(theta)
ax.plot(x,y,z)

Hence, here we see our spiral in the 3D plot:

2. If we take a look at the view_init method, we have two keyword arguments: elevation, which is given by elev,...
