How to obtain camera variables after manually changing them

munal · August 2, 2024, 9:40pm

I am using plotly on streamlit app and I would like to learn the specifics of the camera variables (eye,up,center) of a 3D scatter plot after I change them manually with a mouse. I need them to be returned either on the plot itself or (prefered method) on a streamlit output on screen. I’d appreciate your help.
For the scatter plot I used go.Scatter3d

Hey @munal, welcome to the forums. I am not sure if you can do so in plotly. Maybe with some custom JS.

In dash that’s perfectly possible, take a look at this:

github.com

AIMPED/plotly_dash/blob/master/plotlyDash_3Dplot_scenePlayground.py

import json
import dash
from dash import html, dcc, Input, Output, State, clientside_callback
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd


# Read data from a csv
z_data = pd.read_csv(
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/api_docs/mt_bruno_elevation.csv')

fig = go.Figure(
    data=go.Surface(z=z_data.values),
    layout=dict(
        title='Mt Bruno Elevation',
        autosize=True,
        width=500,
        height=500,
        margin=dict(l=0, r=0, b=0, t=30),
        template='plotly_dark',
