Reversing the axis range in 3D graph in python

Question

I am new to python , so help me to overcome this problem.

I have plotted a 3D graph using some random points. After plotting i got a graph But to get the desired graph , i need to reverse the Y axis. I did it using

gg.scatter(Ys1,Xs1,Zs1)

gg = plt.gca()

del Ys1[:],Xs1[:],Zs1[:]

gg.set_xlabel(' Y Label')
gg.set_ylabel(' X Label')
gg.set_zlabel(' Z Label')

plt.gca()invert_yaxis()

My graph is reversed but unfortunately am not getting the axis range displayed in my plot. If i don reverse , am getting them displayed.

How do i get my axis range displayed.

Sorry am not able to post my graphs since don't have reputation above 10.

I'll be glad if this is solved. Thank you.

Ram please consider the comments made above as they will help you get better responses. I have attempted to interpret your code and give a working solution.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

# Create data so anyone can run the script
n = 1000

Xs1 = np.random.randint(0,3,n)
Ys1 = np.linspace(0,10,n)
Zs1 = np.exp(Ys1)


# This needs to be BEFORE gg.scatter otherwise it is nonsense
gg = plt.gca(projection="3d")

# This is how I would invert a list
Ys1_inverted = [Ys1[n-1-i] for i in range(n)]

# One can plot either Ys1 or Ys1 inverted here (see images below)
gg.scatter(Xs1,Ys1,Zs1)

gg.set_xlabel(' Y Label')
gg.set_ylabel(' X Label')
gg.set_zlabel(' Z Label')

plt.show()

Using the two different lists Ys1 and Ys1_inverted in the plot command gives the following images:

Ys1_inverted

This method displays the correct ranges for all axis.
