I believe a similar question to this was asked before, but it didn't really clarify things for me.

Basically, I have a list of tuples, each of which functions as a point (so (x, y, z) for example).

I want to plot them in either 2D or 3D after I run a clustering algorithm (that color codes the points).

```
clusters = []
def plotPoints(self):
    fig = plt.figure()
    if self.clusters[0].dimensions == 2:
        ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
        for i in range(0, len(self.clusters)):
            ax.scatter(*zip(*self.clusters[i].points), c=self.clusters[i].color, marker="o", label=("Cluster " + str(i + 1)))
        plt.legend(loc='upper left')
        plt.show()
    elif self.clusters[0].dimensions == 3:
        ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
        for i in range(0, len(self.clusters)):
            ax.scatter(*zip(*self.clusters[i].points), c=self.clusters[i].color, marker="o", label=("Cluster " + str(i + 1)))
        plt.legend(loc='upper left')
        plt.show()
    else:
        print "Cannot plot in dimensions lower than 2 or higher than 3"

```

Cluster class:

```
class Cluster(object):
centroid = ()
dimensions = 0
color = 'k'

def __init__(self, init_pt, color):
    self.points = []
    self.points.append(init_pt)
    self.dimensions = len(init_pt)
    self.centroid = init_pt
    self.color = color

def addPoint(self, pt):
    try:
        if len(pt) != self.dimensions:
            raise ArithmeticError("Wrong number of dimensions on new point, ignoring")
        else:
            centroid_dim_list = []
            for dim in range(0, self.dimensions):
                centroid_dim_list.append((self.centroid[dim] * len(self.points) + pt[dim]) / float(len(self.points) + 1))
            self.centroid = tuple(centroid_dim_list)
            self.points.append(pt)
    except ArithmeticError as ae:
        print ae.message
        pass

```

2D plots work just fine (and look really nice), but 3D plots give me a warning:

```
UserWarning: No labeled objects found. Use label='...' kwarg on individual plots.
  warnings.warn("No labeled objects found. "

```

And no legend appears. But I am labeling the points, and the code I am using is almost identical, so I am confused as to what the problem is. I heard something about a proxy object, but I have no clue how to use that for this case.
