Fair question. I needed both 3d quiver and volume rendering, like this: https://www.astro.rug.nl/~breddels/test/hdz.html https://www.astro.rug.nl/~breddels/test

Plotly cannot do that. And this scales to 1 million glyphs, i dont think ploty can do that either.
Aesthetics we disagree on i guess :).
Futhermore, it is build on ipywidgets, which makes interactivity a simple step, and it can be linked to say bqplot:

So various reasons, thanks for your question.
- eurg 10y agoA sideline: stereoscopic rendering: I always wonder, why are they drawn for divergent view? (right plot: right eye, left plot, left eye). Convergent view (cross-eye) is much easier for large (full screen plots). Swapping both plots, (most) humans can easily see the stereoscopic picture without any aids, but it's more or less impossible for almost anyone to have a 3D divergent view for 3D plots where the eyes look away (wider angle than parallel). So the size limit for divergent view is _much_ smaller than for cross-eyed view. It is always great to see 3D plots in actual 3D, while regularly working on a notebook, and convergent view would make that quick and easy...
- maartenbreddels 10y agoI made this with the the Google Cardboard in mind. So you are looking at stereoscopic rendering without aids? I had no idea that was even possible.
