Is it possible to use isometric projection instead of perspective one?

Hi,

in scientific visualization it is sometimes needed to use isometric projection. Is it possible to use such a camera model?

Sorry, I rather mean Axonometric/Orthographic projection instead of "isometric".

At this moment we don't support Orthographic projection. @marcinofulus please set a priority for that feature. Please notice that we have access to plot.camera_fov parameter. That can be used to "emulate" an "almost ortogrphic" projection.

Any update on this issue. If not can anyone suggest any other 3d jupyter package which supports ortho projections interactively (through widgets).

Although it is not Orthographic, you can approximate an orthographic projection by moving the camera away and having a really low FOV. I gradually lowered the FOV and pulled back the camera and was able to go down to a FOV of 2 degrees, to my human eye it look pretty much the same as orthographic so might be good enough for certain usages.

+1 on this. I'll see if I can prototype a solution sometime soon.
