Functionality Request: directed network graphs in 3D

The article on 3D network graph discusses functionalities using a 3dscatter plot that are only capable of plotting undirected networks. Directed networks, however, require to

• plot arrows from node i to node j
• with different widths (and possibly colors)

This could be a meaningful feature for 3dscatter.

Limitations

• So far, I constructed a 3dscatter for which I determine the x, y, z coordinates of nodes with layout algorithms provided by Python packages like igraph or networkx. Only undirected networks can be visualized through simple lines.
• Though dash provides an interface with d3, I am not aware of d3 packages to visualize 3d networks.

The request only applies to 3D network graphs. For 2D network graph, Dash-cytoscape (or Scatter with the specification of annotations) seem to satisfy the above requirements.

Previous feature requests
The need for this has come up multiple times in a number of forums and posts, see below for two instances. An official issue/request does not yet exist to my knowledge.

• Dash Community Thread 1
• Dash Community Thread 2

Despite that, thank you for this wonderful package.
