3D Attributes : General parameters in 3d scatter plots and networks

# aspect3D
3D aspect mode. cube (default) draws all three axes at equal length so each fills its own range; data scales the X/Y/Z box proportions to the real per-axis data spans so the surface keeps true data proportions (like Plotly aspectmode:data)
Type: string
Default: cube
Options: cube, data
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

aspect3D : "cube"

aspect3D : "data"


# fxSamples
Number of grid subdivisions per axis when plotting a function (fx) as a 3D surface. Higher values give smoother surfaces and finer color detail; the grid has fxSamples+1 points per axis
Type: integer
Default: 25
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

fxSamples : 25

fxSamples : 50


# outline3DColor
Color for the outline of the 3D Scatters
Type: color
Default: rgb(0,0,0)
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

outline3DColor : "#9e0adb"

outline3DColor : "#ff7d00"


# perspectiveFactor
Factor to use to make the 3D perspective. The higher the number the more perspective. Perspective of zero is no perspective at all
Type: float
Default: 2.2
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

perspectiveFactor : 1.2

perspectiveFactor : 2.2


# rotationSensitivity
Factor to adjust the sensitivity of the mouse when rotating the graph
Type: integer
Default: 450
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

rotationSensitivity : 150

rotationSensitivity : 450


# show3DGrid
Flag to show/hide the X,Y,Z grid in 3D plots
Type: boolean
Default: true
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

show3DGrid : true

show3DGrid : false


# show3DMinorGrid
Flag to show/hide the minor (unlabeled) grid lines in 3D plots. Off by default for a cleaner surface; the per-axis xAxisGridMinorShow/yAxisGridMinorShow/zAxisGridMinorShow still hide individual axes when this is on
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

show3DMinorGrid : true

show3DMinorGrid : false


# smoothSurface
Soften a 3D surface by stroking each facet with its own fill colour so adjacent facets blend seamlessly (no facet wireframe or seams). On by default for a soft look; combine with a higher fxSamples for the smoothest result. Set false to show the facet edges (outline3DColor)
Type: boolean
Default: true
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

smoothSurface : true

smoothSurface : false


# x3DRatio
Value between 0 - 1 for adjusting the 3D of the X Axis
Type: float
Default: 1
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

x3DRatio : 1

x3DRatio : 0.5


# xAxis3DTicks
Number of major ticks on the 3D X axis. When false (default) the count is chosen automatically from the data range (nice numbers, bounded 4-10); set a positive integer to force an exact count
Type: integer
Default:
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

xAxis3DTicks : 0

xAxis3DTicks : 5


# xRotate
Starting number of degrees to rotate graph arround the X axis
Type: float
Default: 45
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

xRotate : 45

xRotate : 90


# y3DRatio
Value between 0 - 1 for adjusting the 3D of the Y Axis
Type: float
Default: 1
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

y3DRatio : 1

y3DRatio : 0.5


# yAxis3DTicks
Number of major ticks on the 3D Y (value) axis. When false (default) the count is chosen automatically from the data range (nice numbers, bounded 4-10); set a positive integer to force an exact count
Type: integer
Default:
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

yAxis3DTicks : 0

yAxis3DTicks : 5


# yRotate
Starting number of degrees to rotate graph arround the Y axis
Type: float
Default:
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

yRotate : 0

yRotate : 45


# z3DRatio
Value between 0 - 1 for adjusting the 3D of the Z Axis
Type: float
Default: 1
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

z3DRatio : 1

z3DRatio : 0.5


# zAxis3DTicks
Number of major ticks on the 3D Z axis. When false (default) the count is chosen automatically from the data range (nice numbers, bounded 4-10); set a positive integer to force an exact count
Type: integer
Default:
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

zAxis3DTicks : 0

zAxis3DTicks : 5


# zRotate
Starting number of degrees to rotate graph arround the Z axis
Type: float
Default:
Used in: Bar, Network, Scatter3D

zRotate : 0

zRotate : 45
