My Orion Constellation Project in Visualize Data with Python Course

Here is the link to the project in codecademy : https://www.codecademy.com/paths/visualize-data-with-python/tracks/graphing-in-python-dvp/modules/graphing-cumulative-project-dvp/informationals/dvp-constellations

  1. Set-Up

%matplotlib notebook

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

  1. Get familiar with real data

# Orion

x = [-0.41, 0.57, 0.07, 0.00, -0.29, -0.32,-0.50,-0.23, -0.23]

y = [4.12, 7.71, 2.36, 9.10, 13.35, 8.13, 7.19, 13.25,13.43]

z = [2.06, 0.84, 1.56, 2.07, 2.36, 1.72, 0.66, 1.25,1.38]

  1. Create a 2D Visualization

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi =150)

ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

plt.scatter(x, y)

plt.show()

  1. Create a 3D Visualization

fig_3d = plt.figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi =150)

ax = fig_3d.add_subplot(1,1,1,projection="3d")

constellation3d = plt.scatter(x,y,z)

plt.show()
