Axes3D.bar3d(x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, color=None, zsort='average', shade=True, lightsource=None, *args, data=None, **kwargs)[source]

Generate a 3D barplot.

This method creates three-dimensional barplot where the width, depth, height, and color of the bars can all be uniquely set.

Parameters:

x, y, zarray-like

The coordinates of the anchor point of the bars.

dx, dy, dzfloat or array-like

The width, depth, and height of the bars, respectively.

colorsequence of colors, optional

The color of the bars can be specified globally or individually. This parameter can be:

• A single color, to color all bars the same color.
• An array of colors of length N bars, to color each bar independently.
• An array of colors of length 6, to color the faces of the bars similarly.
• An array of colors of length 6 * N bars, to color each face independently.

When coloring the faces of the boxes specifically, this is the order of the coloring:

1. -Z (bottom of box)
2. +Z (top of box)
3. -Y
4. +Y
5. -X
6. +X

zsort{'average', 'min', 'max'}, default: 'average'

The z-axis sorting scheme passed onto Poly3DCollection

shadebool, default: True

When true, this shades the dark sides of the bars (relative to the plot's source of light).

lightsourceLightSource, optional

The lightsource to use when shade is True.

dataindexable object, optional

If given, all parameters also accept a string s, which is interpreted as data[s] (unless this raises an exception).

**kwargs

Any additional keyword arguments are passed onto Poly3DCollection.

Returns:

collectionPoly3DCollection

A collection of three-dimensional polygons representing the bars.
