Generating a 3D Surface Plot with HoloViews

This function generates a 3D surface plot using the HoloViews library. It first generates grid points for X and Y, then calculates the corresponding Z values, and finally creates a surface plot using the HoloViews Surface object.

Technology Stack : HoloViews, NumPy

Code Type : 3D Surface Plot

Code Difficulty : Intermediate

    Z = np.sin(np.sqrt(X**2 + Y**2))
