I found a case from Makie.jl,which web site is [http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//3d/index.html](http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//3d/index.html)  
The Makie.jl’s web site is [https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/gallery](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/gallery)  
But when I run this code, it didn’t show the picture.How could show the picture?

You are creating an empty scene after your scatterplot. Make the scene first, then plot into it:

```julia
...
scene = Scene()
a = meshscatter!(scene, x, y, z, markersize = 0.5, color = to_colormap(:blues, 30))
...

```

How could I put two pictures in one scene and I can rotate any 3D image arbitrarily so that I can see the other angles?  
When I try this code :  
‘’’  
using Makie  
x=1:10  
y=1:10  
z = rand(10)  
q = rand(10)  
scene = Scene()  
a=meshscatter(x, y, z)  
b=meshscatter(x, y, q)  
c=Scene(a,b)  
display(c)  
‘’’  
It shows me " no method matching MeshScatter{…}(::UnitRange{Int64}, ::UnitRange{Int64}, ::Array{Float64,1})"

Is there any other way to display multiple images at the same time and rotate any image at will?

You could use `scene = vbox(a,b)` to create the Scene. The `meshscatter` command works with Makie v0.11.0. What is your version? `]st`
