How to make points smaller than size 1 in point3d?

I am plotting a very large number of points in 3D, which I have in a list, using point3d:

pic = point3d(point_list, color='black', size=1)

pic.save(figsize=20)

I would like the points to be very small. It seems that "size" can only take positive integer values. As a workaround in point2d, you can make "figsize" much bigger, and the points stay the same size in pixels, which has the effect of scaling the point size down. But in point3d, when you make "figsize" bigger, you get the same picture just bigger. Could anyone help me make the points smaller?

Additionally, the default is for each point to be displayed as a little sphere, but I want it to be just a point. Again, in point2d, the code

pic = point2d(point_list, color='black', size=1, marker='.' )

makes this happen, but when I do this in point3d they are still little spheres, and I cannot find any documentation about changing the marker for point3d.

How to make points smaller than size 1 in point3d?

I am plotting a very large number of points in 3D, which I have in a list, using point3d:point3d. Below the same behavior is simulated for randomly generated points:

point_list = []

for n in range(10000):

....point_list.append((random(), random(), random()))

pic = point3d(point_list, color='black', color='red', size=1)

pic.save(figsize=20)

I would like the points to be very small. small, since there are so many of them. It seems that "size" can only take positive integer values. As a workaround in point2d, you can make "figsize" much bigger, and the points stay the same size in pixels, which has the effect of scaling the point size down. But in point3d, when you make "figsize" bigger, you get the same picture just picture, bigger. Could anyone help me make the points smaller?
