I am trying to create a 3D scatter plot, where each point is colored according to a fourth parameter (not corresponding to any of the values on the axes). To do this, I generated a list of colors, which I was going to map onto the set of points using the PlotStyle option. However, although I am correctly generating a list of colors (Which are different--I checked this!), all of my points are being assigned the same color.

I was hoping someone could help me out! I pasted my code below (I added it as an image so it would be easier to see the problem, but I can also paste the code if needed!).

    $\begingroup$ Edit your question to include your code in a copy and pasteable form (InputForm in a code block) rather than an image -- particularly an image too small to be read. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Use Graphics3D[{Point[listOfPoints, VertexColors -> listOfColors]}] $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Or wrap each point in its own list: ListPointPlot3D[Transpose@{First@WCParamDataFunction[]}, PlotStyle -> ...]. $\endgroup$

I'll move the answer here so it shows up as resolved!

Domen's suggestion to wrap each point in a list worked!

ListPointPlot3D[Transpose@{First@WCParamDataFunction[]}, PlotStyle -> ...]

I wonder why this is?

  • $\begingroup$ ListPointPlot3D uses one color for each data set, so you need to make each point its own data set. $\endgroup$
