Matplotlib - 3D Plotting
Identify the error in this code snippet for plotting a 3D bar chart:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
x = [1, 2]
y = [3, 4]
z = [0, 0]
dx = dy = 1
dz = [5, 6]
ax.bar3d(x, y, z, dx, dy, dz)
plt.show()
Adx and dy should be lists, not integers
Bz should be omitted for 3D bar charts
CMissing projection='3d' in add_subplot
Dbar3d does not exist in matplotlib
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check how 3D axes are created

    3D plots require projection='3d' in add_subplot.
  2. Step 2: Identify missing projection argument

    Code uses fig.add_subplot(111) without projection, so ax is 2D.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing projection='3d' in add_subplot -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    3D axes need projection='3d' [OK]
Quick Trick: Always add projection='3d' for 3D axes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Forgetting projection='3d'
  • Thinking dx, dy must be lists
  • Assuming z is optional
