使用 imageio 保存 3D 图

Save 3D plot with imageio

我想将 3D 绘图另存为 gif。但是,由于我无法解释的原因,以下代码不起作用。当我使用 imageio.mimsave(...) 时收到错误消息:Image must be 2D (grayscale, RGB, or RGBA),但我将图像保存为 RGB:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import imageio

x = [0,1,0,0]
y = [0,0,1,0]
z = [0,0,0,1]

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15,9))
ax = fig.add_subplot(projection='3d')
ax.scatter(x,y,z,s=1500)

images = []
for n in range(0, 100):
    if n >= 20: 
        ax.azim = ax.azim+1.1 
    fig.canvas.draw()
    image = np.frombuffer(fig.canvas.tostring_rgb(), dtype='uint8')
    images.append(image)
   
imageio.mimsave('test.gif', images)

np.frombufferreturns一个平面数组,它的形状(X*Y*3,),相反imageio需要一个Y×X × 3(或者对于 RGBA 缓冲区可能是 × 4)。您必须 reshape 您的 image

请注意,我已经修改了尺寸和帧数以获得更小的 GIF。
