Rotating / Turning a 3D scatter plot python visual in Power BI

Hey there! 

 

I have a 3D scatter plot using matplotlib in a python visual in a PBI report. Is there a way to give a user ability to rotate/turn the 3D plot through a parameter slicer or something similar?

 

Thanks!

@Fromit87 , the values you passed to python are available as a dataset, create a measure on slicer value and add that to the dataset and check and take a decision

Thank you @amitchandak!

For ones looking for the code in matplotlib, I created two parameters and used their measure value in the Python visual:

# set view angle and elevation of graph
ax.view_init(elev=max(df['Elevation']), azim=max(df['Angle']))
