3D Graph using three.js

In JavaScript, three-dimensional graphs are nothing but a way to represent functions with a two-dimensional input and a one-dimensional output.

To plot 3D data in JavaScript, to create a three-dimensional plot in Excel, we need to have a three-dimensional range of data which means we must have three-axis for that, X, Y, and Z, and the three-dimensional plots or surface plots can be used from the insert tab in Excel. This three-dimensional model is used to portray real-world and conceptual visuals for entertainment, drafting, and art and is integral to many different industries, including virtual reality(VR), etc. It also plots data points on the three axes to show the relationship between the three variables. Each row in the table is represented by a marker whose position depends on the values in the columns set on the X, Y, and Z axes.

• three.js: This is a JavaScript-based WebGL engine that can run GPU-powered games and other graphics-powered applications straight from the browser. This library provides many features and APIs for drawing three-dimensional scenes in our browser.

Here is an example of a 3D graph using three.js:

Code

In this solution we're using React, Nodejs and three.js libraries.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
3. cd foldername.
4. Open the folder in IDE.
5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
6. Remove first 5 lines of code after pasting code.
7. Cut the html line which is present at end of the code and paste it in index.css file(remove the earlier code from index.css if present).
8. Cut the script tag which is present at end of the code and paste it in index.html file (remove the earlier code from index.html if present).
9. Import three.js library as import * as THREE from 'three'.
10. Add export default statement as 'export default createGeometry'.
11. Open the terminal from IDE.
12. npm start to run the file.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.

I found this code snippet by searching for '3d graph using three.js' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
2. The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
3. React version-18.2.0.
4. three version-0.148.0.

Using this solution, we are able to implement 3D graph using three.js with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to implement 3D graph using three.js.

Dependent Libraries

You can also search for any dependent libraries on kandi like 'react', 'nodejs' and 'three.js'.
