3D Support for Streamline/Quiver Plots

[SterlingButters]

Is subject line easily implementable or might it currently be in development?

[jackparmer]

3D streamtubes and cone plots are currently development in plotly.js, here is a preview:

If your company is available to co-sponsor this effort, please reach out

[SterlingButters]

Im sorry, I guess I forgot to mention that I am using Python, is development for the above for JS AND Python platforms? If development for Python platform is happening currently, where might I access the source code?

[jackparmer]

@SterlingButters the Python platform is simply an interface to the JS platform, so everything developed in Plotly.js you get for free as a Python user.

[SterlingButters]

Ahhh I see, so as I understand, cone plots and streamtubes are not in the current Plotly 2.1.0 release so how might I obtain them? Are they just hidden in GitHub somewhere and I just cant seem to find them?

[jackparmer]

I apologize, I should have been more clear - these charts are in development in a private project. They won't be added to plotly.js (and thus plotly.py) until early next year. I just wanted to let you know that these charts are currently in active development, but are not available for early access yet.

[SterlingButters]

No problem, I guess it's a good thing they are in development at least. By early next year do you mean ~January 2018? Is early access a popular thing for in-development features?

[jackparmer]

By early next year do you mean ~January 2018?

Probably more like March realistically.

Is early access a popular thing for in-development features?

Not really.

If you're at a company and need to speed this along, we have programs for that, but otherwise it's just not a big priority now unfortunately.

Thanks for your interest! I'll keep this issue open and updated as things progress.

[SterlingButters]

Awesome! thank you for your time in answering my questions :)

Is this still going to be released soon?

[jackparmer]

Yes. Uniform grids work great, but we're currently trying to improve the output for *nonuniform* grids. Expect an update in 3 weeks.

Many thanks for plotly, I discovered it one year ago and use the 3d plot functionality in Jupyter notebook. I am looking for the 3d quiver functionality to explore the last Gaia data release (see https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/). I am not sure that you can expect a lot of money from the astronomer community but some enthusiastic users yes ;-)

Folks interested in 3d quiver plots should follow updates here: plotly/plotly.js#2641

@zach-nervana @bombrun @SterlingButters
I'm happy to report that 3d cones have finally made it to the Python library:

@empet has example usage on her Plotly profile:
https://plot.ly/~empet#/

Streamlines and tubes will be released next week or the week after. Please subscribe to this PR for updates:
plotly/plotly.js#2658

Looking forward to see what you make. Closing this issue in lieu of plotly/plotly.js#2658

[jackparmer]

Streamtubes are now released:
