Hello everyone,
I frequently have the issue with not being able to properly set the 3D camera parameters.
I don't see how the 3D camera setting parameters can be used to set the center or the eye on a specific location in the plotted 3D coordinate system.
Here comes a simple example:
- two 3D point clouds of random points around coordinates (0,0,0) and (10, 10, 10)
- I want to focus the view on the point cloud (0, 0, 0) with a view distance of 3
# example as run in a Jupyter Notebook cell
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np
fig = go.FigureWidget()
pointcloud1 = np.random.rand(3, 30)
pointcloud2 = np.random.rand(3, 30) + np.array([10, 10, 10])[:, None]
fig.add_scatter3d(x=pointcloud1[0], y=pointcloud1[1], z=pointcloud1[2], name='cloud 1')
fig.add_scatter3d(x=pointcloud2[0], y=pointcloud2[1], z=pointcloud2[2], name='cloud 2')
fig.layout.scene.camera = go.layout.scene.Camera(
center=dict(x=0, y=0, z=0),
eye=dict(x=0, y=0, z=3),
up=dict(x=0, y=1, z=0),
)
fig.layout.height = 500
fig.layout.width = 700
figThe resulting plot looks like this:
The view is obviously centered somewhere in the middle between the point clouds, and the distance z=3 in the eye parameter does not correspond to the 3D graph distance as well (its more like 20 or 30).
Hope you guys can help me out here, since I did not find any way to work around this.
