Dear all, I write to the community to know if other people expierenced the same problem. I want to save a rgl scene where I plotted a 3d cloud of spheres whose radius is set proportional to a given variable and coloured by another group variable and with 95% ellipsoids for distribution of any group. I had no problem at all for coding but I had two problem when saving the scene (in any format)

Dear RGL experts, I haven't been able to add greek letters to my rgl plot3d. I have tried "expression" with no success. Here is the interested bit: > library(rgl) > cb <- cube3d() > plot3d(cb,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab="",zlab="",box=FALSE,alpha=0.5) The expression(alpha) appears as "alpha", rather than as a greek symbol. I suspect greek

On OSX and Linux, the rgl package currently requires X11 libs to be available for linking. Recent versions of OSX don't include them by default, so I'd like rgl to fail nicely. Ideally, it will load a library that doesn't need to link to the X11 libs but will still allow WebGL code to work, but that's complicated, so I'd like a stopgap. I can detect that the failure is

Hi, I try to execute the seven lines of code below to plot a graph. But I am failing as the messages below show. Where am I going wrong? install.packages("rgl") library(rgl) y_hat = X%*%B_hat open3d(windowRect = c(100,100,900,900),family = "serif") color = rainbow(length(y_hat))[rank(y_hat)] plot3d(educ,exper,wage,col = color,type = "s",size = 0.5,xlim =

Greetings, I would like to add 3D arrows (i.e. arrow-headed vectors linking X1Y1Z1 to X2,Y2,Z2) to a 3D plot; ideally the sort of plot that can be rotated interactively. Is this possible using plot3d, or another 3d plotter in R? While it is easy to draw segments in plot3d (e.g. below), I haven't figured out how to add arrow heads, or to create 3d arrows from scratch. ##two headless

Hello, say I have a 2D-matrix (indexed by x and y), which contains z values, which I want to plot over x-y. Either dotted, or if possible as a landscape. I tried around with persp and plot3d (from rgl) and persp3d (from rgl). I sometimes get something that looks good and a while later, when trying some new data I need to worry about that again. Is there something lika a convenience function

Hi, I am trying to plot a 3d scatter plot using the rgl package but am having trouble. I have a matrix containing x, y and z co-ordinates and a fourth element related to a count variable. I would like to plot the points using plot3d with the sizes of the points related to the fourth element in the matrix. Is this possible with plot3d or do I need to use something else? I include a small example

Buenas tardes. ¿Sabe alguno de vosotros cómo indicar la variable con la que identificar los puntos con plot3d? library(rgl) plot3d(Data$RTLML,Data$JD,Data$SB) Las muestras pertenecen a una de dos categorías, según la variable "Family", pero no sé cómo hacer que me las represente de diferente color. Gracias, Manuel . -- Dr Manuel

I want to plot points with different colors to show different selections of points in a 3d plot. My problem is that if I plot a red point at a location where already a blue point was plotted, than the point is still blue. Is there a parameter or so which can be used to draw over a existing point? Example: > require(rgl) > open3d() > plot3d(a<-c(1,2,3,4,5),a,a,type="l",

Hi R users and experts, I am interested in learning more about the use of 3D plots. Specifically, I want to add points and lines to a surface plot. And get the axes and labels plotted also. Here is what I have tried with an example data set : library(rgl) vol2 <- 2*volcano # Exaggerate the relief library(reshape) mvol2 <- melt(vol2) str(mvol2) # First, persp and persp3d plots do not succeed

If I recall it correctly, at least on Linux, rgl only needs X11 when rgl.useNULL(FALSE). Is that correct? If so, I would say dependency on X11 is optional and therefore you should be able to load the package even without X11. Or is it that it still requires X11 libs but not an X11 server?

Dear r-helpers, Can one save a dynamic graphic produced by rgl, e.g.: open3d(); x <- sort(rnorm(1000)); y <- rnorm(1000); z <- rnorm(1000) + atan2(x,y); plot3d(x, y, z, col=rainbow(1000), size=2) as a dynamic figure that can be embedded in a pdf? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400

Hello, I'm trying to make a 3d plot using rgl in which the size and color of each point corresponds to certain attributes of each data point. The color attribute, let's call it X, is scaled to go from 0 to 1. The rainbow(64,start=0.7,end=0.1) palette is perfect for what I want but I don't know how to take that palette and pick a color from it based on the value of X for a given data

Hello I was wondering if anyone has been able to change the pch value for points in 3dplot()? I am able to change point colors just not symbol types. I have included a portion of my code below. I realize this won't work outside of my script, but thought, maybe there is something obvious that I am doing wrong. Also is it possible to utilize the interactive feature of 3dplot in a

I'm trying to use the rgl package on R-2.7.1 running on top of Ubuntu Hardy amd64. using open3d() and plot3d() I get a plot, but it is not interactive. Furthermore, changes to par3d("FOV"=my.new.value) do nothing. I suspect something is wrong with the rendering engine or interface to it. I do have an Nvidia driver installed and compiz works correctly on the desktop. I've
