This graph -> http://www.math.hope.edu/~tanis/dallas/images/disth36.gif
is an example I found at
http://www.math.hope.edu/~tanis/dallas/disth1.html
created by Maple.
Does anybody know how to create something similar in R?
I have a feeling it could be possible using scatterplot3d
(perhaps with type=h, the fourth example in help('scatterplot3d')?),
but I cannot figure it out.
Thanks in advance,
Jonne.

Is this really the kind of graph we want to cultivate and support? In my oppinion, it is hardly ever necessary to have a graph in 3D or even in higher dimensions (one certain exception is if one tries to spin a higly dimensional dataset in search of patterns as you can do in ggobi and there might certainly be others). At least the graph presented in the example does - in my eyes - not warrant a 3D plot. Why not just draw curves for each of the n's in a plot of 'A' against 'row'? This would enable a reader to make straightforward comparisons of the curves and allow to estimate the height of the 'columns' along the 'A'-axis much more easily. Only because we can easily create 3D graphs, I do not believe that we should use them often. Only if a careful evaluation of alternatives was not promising success I would resign myself to using 3D graphs. Lorenz - Lorenz Gygax, Dr. sc. nat.
