Plotting a Tuple in Python

Question

In python, what is the syntax that will let me plot a tuple such as

t = [(9,2,5),(3,6,4),(2,8,4)]

I am having trouble since there are three elements in each combination.

What do you mean by "plotting a tuple"? What should it look like if you plotted t on a piece of paper? — mkrieger1

If your t means: (x,y,z) => (9, 3, 2), (2, 6, 8), (5, 4, 4)

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

data = [(9, 3, 2), (2, 6, 8), (5, 4, 4)]
x, y, z = data[0], data[1], data[2]
ax = plt.subplot(111, projection='3d')
total_point = len(data)
ax.scatter(x[:total_point], y[:total_point], z[:total_point], c='red')
ax.plot(x[:total_point], y[:total_point], z[:total_point], c='yellow')

ax.set_zlabel('Z')
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_xlabel('X')
plt.show()

output:

I tried running that but then I get this error: "shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single shape"

That's because scatter() requires the length of each variable to must be the same.

check your data. each tuple length must be the same.

the x,y,z variables point to the tuple slice position. :total_point returns the range of tuples in the list.
