How To Directly Use Axes3d From Matplotlib In Standard Plot To Avoid Flake8 Error

When using the typical 3D plot like so: from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.gca(projection='3d') flake8 reports th

Solution 1:

If this is only about actually using the import at least once, you can do

ax = fig.gca(projection=Axes3D.name)

as "3d" is the name of the Axes3D class by which it is registered to the projection list.

Solution 2:

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3dimportAxes3D
import matplotlib.pyplotas plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = Axes3D(fig)

However, if I understand the documentation well, it is not the preferred way anymore since version 1.0.0. I still mention it for completeness.
