I am not sure about how to rotate graph in Python Jupyter notebook, its static for me and not rotate on mouse movement

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

x =[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
y =[5,6,2,3,13,4,1,2,4,8]
z =[2,3,3,3,5,7,9,11,9,10]

ax.scatter(x, y, z, c='r', marker='o')

ax.set_xlabel('X Label')
ax.set_ylabel('Y Label')
ax.set_zlabel('Z Label')

plt.show()

enter image description here

To enable interactivity you need to use the notebook backend of matplotlib. You can do this by running %matplotlib notebook.

This must be done before you plot anything, e.g.:

%matplotlib notebook

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d    

fig = ...

As described on matplotlib website you can create an interactive graph by importing mplot3d. Please use the following sample Rotate Axes.

I am going to include the code just in case the link is not available in future.

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%matplotlib notebook

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

# load some test data for demonstration and plot a wireframe
X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.1)
ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride=5, cstride=5)

# rotate the axes and update
for angle in range(0, 360):
    ax.view_init(30, angle)
    plt.draw()
    plt.pause(.001)
