Description
sp.plot_web3d() is the 3D twin of sp.plot_web(): both plot-web variants have a 3D form, selected with the same variant keyword and fed with the same points. scatter places every point at its own (x, y); radial instead gives each category its own spoke and places points by x-position along the spoke’s radius.
Variants
| Variant | Aliases | Uses | 3D form |
|---|---|---|---|
scatter | web, connected, default, flow | x, y, labels, categories | Every point at its own (x, y) position, sized by sizes and toned by its category. |
radial | solar, stellar, mandala, spider | x, y, labels, categories | Every category its own spoke around the centre; points sit along it by x-position, height by y. |
Data
x/y position each point, sizes scales its marker, labels names it and categories groups it (spokes for radial, colour for scatter).
3D planes
The viewpoint is independent from the variant: orientation3d picks the initial camera plane and applies to every variant; the view always stays draggable.
orientation3d="iso" — Isometric three-quarter view (default).orientation3d="horizontal" — Side-on view, almost at floor level.orientation3d="vertical" — Top-down view from above.orientation3d="front" — Front elevation, nearly flat.3D scenes
scene swaps the environment the columns are drawn in and applies to every variant and every plane.
scene="default" — Each series keeps its own categorical palette color, rendered as shaded 3D bars on a flat grid.scene="terrain" — The data is resampled onto a dense grid and rendered as hundreds of thin colormap-colored columns, forming a continuous mountain-of-bars terrain.scene="tower" — The data is resampled onto a dense field of round skyscraper-like towers instead of boxes, for a city-skyline reading of magnitude.scene="radial" — The data is resampled onto a dense polar grid of rings and wedges radiating from the center, like a 3D radar/sonar sweep of the value field.scene="podium" — The data is resampled onto a dense grid and quantized into stepped terrace levels, like a rice-terrace contour map, to read value bands at a glance.Themes
theme restyles the whole canvas (colour grade and glow) and applies to every variant, scene and plane.

The 3D zone (floor, walls, axes and camera) scales to the elements: its length, width and height follow the extents of the drawn blocks, a minimum floor depth keeps single rows readable, wide scenes are drawn flatter and the camera frames the whole box. The axis ticks read the real data range. Pass zone=[x, y, z] to force the proportions of the box instead; the longest side is normalised to 1.
