There are several ways. Here’s one:

```julia
using Plots
x = rand(10)
y = rand(10)
z = rand(10)
scatter(x, y, z)

```

(assuming that you have installed Plots.jl, of course). See [the Plots.jl documentation](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/) for more.

except that when you search ‘scatter’, nothing shows up and one would have to improvise based on other examples like this [https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/gr/#3d](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/gr/#3d)

I hope one day Plots.jl switch to using Documenter.jl
