matplotlib pyplot.show：无效的RGBA

Question

我只需要绘制3D散点图。

from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
ax = plt.axes(projection="3d")
ax.scatter(dots_x, dots_y, dots_z, c='red')
plt.show()

dots_x，dots_y，dots_z是坐标（python列表）。每次运行程序，我都会得到ValueError: Invalid RGBA argument: (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.300088123161615)

我对这个元组一无所知。但是，如果我使用plot3D而不是scatter3D，则会得到完美的曲线。

完整错误消息：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\bozzy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\colors.py", line 166, in to_rgba
    rgba = _colors_full_map.cache[c, alpha]
KeyError: ((1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.300088123161615), None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

对不起，我的英语：）

问题似乎是我（Windows 10，Python 3.6.5，matplotlib 2.2.3，sympy 1.1.1，Eclipse / PyDev）中的matplotlib和您的环境无法正确处理sympy.core.floats。您的列表，例如x_dots不包含常规的Python浮点值，而是sympy数据格式。我不太了解sympy，所以不确定如何正确处理此问题，但是您可以通过在绘制之前转换值来确认这是问题所在：

fx = [float(i) for i in dots_x]
fy = [float(i) for i in dots_y]
fz = [float(i) for i in dots_z]
ax.scatter(fx, fy, fz, c='red')

或者，您可以使用numpy进行转换：

ax.scatter(np.asarray(dots_x, dtype = "float"), np.asarray(dots_y, dtype = "float"), np.asarray(dots_z, dtype = "float"), c='red')

示例输出：

P.S .：刚刚在Ubuntu 18.04，Python 3.6.5，matplotlib 2.2.3，sympy 1.2，Eclipse / PyDev上也进行了测试，并且该错误在此处也可以重现。 错误也与后端无关-我的第一个怀疑。使用Qt5和TkAgg进行测试时没有差异。
