How to make a 4d plot with matplotlib using arbitrary data

Question

This question is related to this one.

What I would like to know is how to apply the suggested solution to a bunch of data (4 columns), e.g.:

0.1 0 0.         


        

Answer 1

One possibility would be use a color space, for example RGBA or HSVA, they are 4 dimensional, but displaying the alpha (transparency) well may be a problem.

Other possibility would be a dynamic plot with a slider. One of the dimensions would be represented by the slider.

I am not sure if that is what you are asking, though.
