Hello! I have a task to plot a list of 3D data of the following form:

 x  y  z
(1, 1, 1)
(1, 5, 7)
(8.8, 0, 3)
(7.5, 1.91, 11.8)
(0, 0, 0)

It looks like with "list_plot3d()" I can only get a surface, while I need just the dots with the appropriate coordinates (x, y, z). How can I do that?

Try the point3d function:

sage: L = [ (1, 1, 1), (1, 5, 7), (8.8, 0, 3),  (7.5, 1.91, 11.8), (0, 0, 0) ]
sage: point3d(L)

See the documentation for point3d by typing point3d? at the command line. See the text3d function if you want to add text labels to your points.

Thanks a lot! This is indeed what I wanted to do! To my mind, this function is definitely belongs to the "3D Graphics" section of the Tutorial. Maybe even to "List Plots" subsection, because such function is used very often.
