如何使用Python和matplotlib制作一个4d图

Question

我正在寻找一种使用Python和matplotlib创建四维图(表面加上色标)的方法.我能够使用前三个变量生成曲面,但我没有成功添加第四个变量的颜色标度.以下是我的数据的一小部分.任何帮助将不胜感激.谢谢

要创建所需的绘图,我们需要使用matplotlib plot_surface来绘制Zvs (X,Y)surface,然后使用keyword参数facecolors为每个Patch传递一种新颜色.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from matplotlib import cm

# create some fake data
x = y = np.arange(-4.0, 4.0, 0.02)
# here are the x,y and respective z values
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = np.sinc(np.sqrt(X*X+Y*Y))
# this is the value to use for the color
V = np.sin(Y)

# create the figure, add a 3d axis, set the viewing angle
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.view_init(45,60)

# here we create the surface plot, but pass V through a colormap
# to create a different color for each patch
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, facecolors=cm.Oranges(V))
