Signature
sp.splom3d(title, axes=None, series=None, *, variant="basic", orientation3d="iso", scene="default", theme="none", zone=None, max_points=None, bg_color="#1a1a2e", width=900, height=560, x_label="", y_label="", z_label="", **kwargs) -> Chart
Aliases: sp.build_splom3d_chart(), sp.splom_3d(), sp.splom3d_chart(), sp.splom3d_family(), sp.sploms3d().
Description
sp.splom3d() is the 3D twin of sp.splom(): every one of the 4 scatterplot-matrix variants has a 3D form, selected with the same variant keyword and fed with the same rows. Every axis pair becomes its own small scatter cell laid out on a grid, up to 8 axes at once; long tables are sampled down so every cell stays legible.
Variants
| Variant | Aliases | Uses | 3D form |
|---|---|---|---|
basic | default, classic, dots | axes, series | One small scatter cell per axis pair, laid out on a grid. |
correlation | corr, heat, shaded | axes, series | The same grid of cells, each toned by its own Pearson correlation coefficient. |
density | alpha, overplot, cloud | axes, series | The same grid of cells, read as an overplotted cloud rather than individually styled points. |
regression | trend, fit, lm | axes, series | The same grid of cells, each with a linear best-fit line laid across its points. |
Data
axes names each variable and series gives one row per sample, one value per axis in the same order.
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.
