Project Introduction

A simple 3D plot represents data in three dimensions (x, y, and z) to visualize relationships that
would be difficult or impossible to see in 2D. These plots are often used to analyze complex
datasets in fields such as engineering, physics, and data science.
Components of a Simple 3D Plot:

• Axes:
• X-axis: Represents one independent variable or parameter.
• Y-axis: Represents another independent variable or parameter.
• Z-axis: Represents the dependent variable or outcome based on the x and y axes.

Project Introduction

•Data Representation:
• Points: Each point in the 3D space is defined by its (x, y, z) coordinates.
• Surface or Mesh: A continuous representation connecting the points to form a plane or shap
• Wireframe: A grid-like view of the surface, often used to see the structure of the data.

•Perspective:
• Allows rotation, zooming, and panning to explore the data from different angles.

•Color:
• Used to encode additional information, such as intensity or grouping.

Project Description
5. Creating a 2D grid of x and y values
• 'meshgrid' creates two 2D arrays:
• X contains the x-coordinates repeated across rows.
• Y contains the y-coordinates repeated across columns.

6. Compute the z-values for the surface


• The surface's height (Z) is defined by the function Z = sin(X) * cos(Y).

7. Ploting the surface


• 'plot_surface' renders the surface defined by X, Y, and Z arrays.
• The 'cmap="plasma"' argument applies a color map based on the Z-values.

8. Adjusting the viewing angle


• Sets the azimuthal angle (horizontal rotation) to 0 degrees.
• The plot is aligned with the x-axis as the horizontal reference.
