Hi , I wanted to know it is possible to do 3D plotting with R. If it is possible what shall I do? * Are there special packages to install? * Where can I find them?

Karamian,
R provides the possibility of perspective plots, which are one kind of
3D graphics. Look at the documentation for "persp()", or just type
"example(persp)".
On the other hand there is a extremely powerful software package named
"xgobi" which can do a lot of (dynamic) 3D plotting.
You will find it at http://www.research.att.com/areas/stat/xgobi.
There is a R interface to xgobi available from CRAN.
I had (and still have) some problems with building the newest
xgobi version from source. It seems to be a bit sophisticated concerning
the libraries on my system. So when you are using linux, I think you
should make sure that you don''t have a too old distrbution.
Good luck ...

If you mean 3D scatterplot, Uwe Ligges has a packge which can be downloaded from http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges.htm If you mean contour or perspective 3D drawing, have a look at help(persp), or:> ?perspThis is all I can suggest from your description, since I''m not quite sure as to what "kind" of 3D plotting you are talking about, if you know what I mean...

One way to do 3-D plotting was just told to me by Kaspar Pflugshaupt, in response to my earlier question about parallel coordinate displays. It is to get the xgobi package. There are two parts to it. One is the R package, which you get from CRAN, under "Contributed code." You download this and install it according to the directions for installing packages. (For me, that was simply "R INSTALL xgobi" on the linux command line.) But that is just the R interface. You also need xgobi itself. The web page for it is http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/general/XGobi/ This does 3-D graphs, rotations, etc. Very nice. Only the newer versions do parallel coodinate displays. Unfortunately for me, the rpm for Linux that exists in http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ is out of date and does not include this, so I will have to install the newer version by hand. Haven''t done this yet. But I have installed the RPM, and it does work very nicely. Of course, on the R command line, you have to say library(xgobi) and then the command to invoke it is xgobi(matrix) where "matrix" is the data set you want to display.

I had a look at your ps file and I''m not sure whether persp() can do it or not. I would suspect Uwe Ligges scatterplot3d can do it, give it a try. Alternatively you can send the file into R list and see if anyone knows how to plot that.
