# plot_point_cloud¶

gtda.plotting.plot_point_cloud(point_cloud, dimension=None, plotly_params=None)[source]

Plot the first 2 or 3 coordinates of a point cloud.

Note: this function does not work on 1D arrays.

Parameters
• point_cloud (ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_dimensions)) – Data points to be represented in a 2D or 3D scatter plot. Only the first 2 or 3 dimensions will be considered for plotting.

• dimension (int or None, default: None) – Sets the dimension of the resulting plot. If None, the dimension will be chosen between 2 and 3 depending on the shape of point_cloud.

• plotly_params (dict or None, optional, default: None) – Custom parameters to configure the plotly figure. Allowed keys are "trace" and "layout", and the corresponding values should be dictionaries containing keyword arguments as would be fed to the update_traces and update_layout methods of plotly.graph_objects.Figure.

Returns

fig – Figure representing a point cloud in 2D or 3D.

Return type

plotly.graph_objects.Figure object
