What a 3D scatterplot shows

A 3D scatterplot plots individual data points in three-dimensional space. Each point is defined by three values — (xi,yi,zi)(x_i, y_i, z_i) — that map to coordinates along three axes.

The color of each marker encodes the zz value using the selected color scale, making clusters, gradients, and outliers visually obvious without extra computation.

Use this tool to spot correlations between three variables, identify clusters, or verify that a dataset has the three-dimensional structure you expect.

Input tips

  • Enter comma-separated numbers for each axis, e.g. 1,2,3,4,5.
  • All three axes must have the same number of values.
  • Use the preset buttons to load an example, then edit the values.
  • Press Plot to apply your changes and refresh the 3D view.
  • Drag the chart to rotate, scroll to zoom, and pan with right-click.
  • Copy data copies all points as [x, y, z] tuples.

About 3D Scatterplot Generator

A 3D scatterplot is a type of three-dimensional plot used to display data points in three dimensions. Each point is represented by its X, Y, and Z coordinates. Scatterplots are valuable for visualizing relationships between three variables, identifying clusters, and spotting outliers in datasets. To use this tool, input comma-separated numerical values for each axis. Click 'Generate Plot' to create an interactive 3D scatterplot. Use your mouse to rotate, zoom, and explore the plot. Click 'Copy Data' to copy the numerical data used to generate the plot to your clipboard.
