3D line charts

   

Summary: This example shows how to create three-dimensional scatter charts in F#.

let's first create some data for the purpose of creating example charts:

open Plotly.NET 
open System
 
let c = [0. .. 0.5 .. 15.]

let x,y,z =  
    c
    |> List.map (fun i ->
        let i' = float i 
        let r = 10. * Math.Cos (i' / 10.)
        (r*Math.Cos i',r*Math.Sin i',i')
    )
    |> List.unzip3

A Scatter3 chart shows a three-dimensional spinnable view of your data. When using Lines_Markers as the mode of the chart, you additionally render a line between the points:

let scatter3dLine = 
    Chart.Scatter3d(x,y,z,StyleParam.Mode.Lines_Markers)
    |> Chart.withX_AxisStyle("x-axis")
    |> Chart.withY_AxisStyle("y-axis")
    |> Chart.withZ_AxisStyle("z-axis")
    |> Chart.withSize(800.,800.)
