scatter3

scatter3(cmd0::String="", arg1=[]; kwargs...)

Reads (x,y,z) triplets and plot symbols at those locations on a map. This module is a subset of plot to make it simpler to draw scatter plots. So many (fine) controlling parameters are not listed here. For a finer control, user should consult the plot module.

Parameters

  • S or symbol or marker or Marker or shape : – Default is cube with size of 7 points
    • symbol=symbol string
      A full GMT compact string.
    • symbol=(symb=…, size=…, unit=…)
      Where symb is one like :circle, size is symbol size in cm, unless unit is specified i.e. :points
    In alternative to the symbol keyword, user can select the symbol name with either marker or shape and symbol size with markersize, ms or just size. The value of these keywords can be either numeric (symb meaning size in cm) or string if an unit is appended, e.g. markersize=5p. This form of symbol selection allows also to specify a variable symbol size. All it’s need for this is that the keywrd’s value be an array with the same number of elements as the number of data points.

Examples

A scatter of ten points plotted as black cubes of 7 points size using the default perspective of 200,30
