Plot a 3D volume in PGFplots using something akin to maximum intensity projection



Announcing the arrival of Valued Associate #679: Cesar Manara
Planned maintenance scheduled April 23, 2019 at 23:30 UTC (7:30pm US/Eastern)Maximum points to plot in pgfplotsCustom legend for intensity plotplotting two time series with boundsHow do i get the x axis on top but keep a line on the bottomPolar Plots - layout and extraction of crucial parametersHow to prevent rounded and duplicated tick labels in pgfplots with fixed precision?How to hide empty (value 0) ybars with pgfplots?Show mark labels near marks and not centered in ybar interaval graphpgfplots: percentage in matrix plotCenter the axes in the coordinate origin

I have a function $rho(x, y, z) = e^{-|x|}$, which I'd like to plot. It yields a 3d volume - I've already plotted it in Julia (using Makie.jl), and it looks like this:



Makie.jl function visualization



I'd like to be able to plot something like this in PGFplots. I've come up with a quite 'hacky' solution, which works, but I would of course prefer something better.



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
usepgfplotslibrary{colormaps}
pgfplotsset{compat = 1.16}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

begin{axis}[
colormap/viridis,
colorbar,
xlabel = {$x$},
ylabel = {$y$},
zlabel = {$z$},
title = {$rho = e^{-|x|}$}
]

addplot3 [
scatter,
only marks,
mark = cube*,
opacity = {0.175*pgfplotspointmetatransformed/2000},
% mesh/ordering = x varies,
point meta = {exp(-abs(x))}
] table {data.dat};

end{axis}

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}



where data.dat is simply columns of x, y, and z in a cube.



x    y    z
-3.0 -3.0 -3.0
-3.0 -3.0 -2.9
[...]
3.0 3.0 3.0


My current visualization looks like this.
enter image description here



Is there any way I can make the PGFplots visualization better?
