similar to: Persp Plot

I have been making simple functions to display regressions in a new package called "rockchalk". For 3d illustrations, my functions use persp, and I've grown to like working with it. As an example of the kind of things I like to do, you might consult my lecture on multicollinearity, which is by far the most detailed illustration I've prepared.

I've created a perspective plot using 'persp' in the graphics package. I'd like to add a second plane of z values to the existing plot, but I cannot seem to do this using 'persp'. Is there an analogue to 'lines' or 'points' for perspectives? Corey. corey.bradshaw at cdu.edu.au

Hello folks, i'm a R beginner and i want to put in a same plot both contour lines and persp plot. For example, fn<-function(x,y){sin(x)+2*y} #this looks like a corrugated tin roof x<-seq(from=1,to=100,by=1) #generates a list of x values to sample y<-seq(from=1,to=100,by=1) #generates a list of y values to sample z<-outer(x,y,FUN=fn) #applies the funct. across the combos of x

Hi all, I've got two persp plots with Identical X and Y's, and I'd like to plot them on the same graph, so that it is obvious where one plot is above the other. I can't find any mention of this anywhere. Do I need to use wireframe? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -- Ian Bentley M.Sc.

Hello Dear, I have a function, like z=f(x,y), and try a surface plot with this function. But, on the reference of "wireframe" requires data option, so I generated x and y, and computed z with them. But, still I have a problem to draw a surface plot. The code and errors are ################################################## mle_beta0=64.43707; mle_beta1=-24365.16; # generating for

Hello, I am trying to get a surface plot of a data set that looks like the following, 1 2 5.6 5 9 2.4 9 8 9.8 ... to (60,000 rows down) From my homework, the persp function only works with evenly spaced data points with the z data beeing in a matrix. my data is not in that format. the wireframe fxn gives me an error, no applicable method for "wireframe" the

It is a trivial matter to adjust the linewidth of the axes and plot line in a 2D plot: x <- 1:10; y <- 1:10; par(lwd=2); # axis (and others) linewidth plot(x,y,"l",lwd=6); # plot linewidth Is there anything comparable to this for persp or wireframe? I've tried a number of ways, and the framebox/axes seem to be linked to the linewidth used in generating the

How can I control de "wrap-around" color behaviour in the persp function ? I am using something like : persp(bb[1:100,2:97], col= rainbow(8,start=0.1, end=0.8))) Depending on the rainbow length value I get several "wrap-around" blocks of the selected color range...something that I wanted to avoid... My idea is to use the color in order to make a separation from a certain

R-sters: I'm interested in keeping data plotted in persp to preserve the wireframe look, I'd just like to change one of the lines drawn (in either the x or y direction) into a different color so that it stands out. Or is there some way to add a line (say, via lines(), or abline()) to a persp() plot at the designated x or y that would follow the z surface contour? I could add a line

Hello R-sters, I'm trying to add several lines to a response surface that I've plotted using persp(). I've tried lines() using the "trans3d" function but I've been unsuccessful in getting it to work (R v2.0.1). Essentially, I'm trying to highlight one or more of the surface wireframe lines in a bolder (or different) color. Any tips from those of you who have some

Hello, I am plotting a 3D function using persp and I would like to use greek symbols in the axes labels. I have found examples like this one on the web: plot(0,0,xlab=expression(kappa[lambda]),ylab=substitute(paste(phi,"=",true,sigma),list(true=5))) this works well with plot but not with persp: with the command persp(M,theta = -20,phi =

Thank you for your replies so far. Sorry for bothering you again, but I'm still not able to get what I need as I don't understand all parts of the replies (just using R for easy things....). Is there a code for plane3d() like some of you sent me for points3d()? I was not able to get that out of the scatterplot3d package... What I can do is to get the x,y and z-range for the xlim,ylim and

Dear R experts, On explanation of persp() parameters the last item is: ...: additional graphical parameters (see `par'). However, setting the `tcl' parameter has no any effect. I guess that axes are added to persp() in somewhat freakish way, and have nothing in common with axis() function. I found the very useful trans3d() function in persp() help page, and I'd like to use it

Hi all, I need to plot two intersecting planes in a graph. Using persp() function (see code below) I am not able to add a second plane with good results. I tried with par(new=TRUE) but the output was very poor. I have found some previous discussions about this point but (apparently) without a clear solution. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all In two days, I am giving a small, informal workshop in our Department about using R. Initially, it was just for statistician, but surprisingly (to me anyhow) many mathematicians are also coming who have a MATLAB background. They are coming at the Workshop from a teaching perspective. They are considering using R to avoid licensing issues with MATLAB. One thing they were hoping me to

Hi R-helpers I would like to plot some planes which are perpendicular to the x-y plane, such as x=y. Is there a way to do this in wireframe? I realize that I am not plotting a function of x, y since there are infinite number of z's that satisfy the above relation.... Hmm... Somewhat related, I would also like to plot a line in 3 d space... Finally, if you are feeling really brave, I

Dear helplist members, I have been using 'wireframe()' to make 3d plots using the following call: wireframe (temp ~ xc2 * mc2, screen = list(z = 230, x = -70, y = 0), scales = list (arrows = FALSE)) and these three vectors: xc2 mc2 temp [1,] 0.1 0.04 0.049797615 [2,] 0.2 0.04 0.049161159 [3,] 0.3 0.04 0.048006702 [4,] 0.4 0.04 0.046208311 [5,] 0.5 0.04

Hi, I would like to plot a matrix which comprises 3 columns. So first column should be the x-axis. Second the y-axis and the third one should be the z-axis. I know that I can plot such data using the scatterplot3d, but I would like to have a surface plot like you can do with wireframe and persp. But both, persp and wireframe, want to have x and y as descending data, at least persp. I am not sure

Dear WizaRds, I would like to create a 3d-plot with persp(). I sampled 17 points with xyz-coordinates (real-life example!), representing the peaks of the whole plane with "zero coordinates" x=3,y=3,z=3. My intention is to show which entries are above or below the "zero" level with persp() on a nicely created grid. I also tried scatterplot3d(), but, alas, I am unable

R'istas: I am trying to plot a marginal distribution on the plane behind a persp() plot. My existing code is: library(MASS) X <- mvrnorm(1000,mu=c(0,0),Sigma=matrix(c(1,0,0,1),2)) X.kde <- kde2d(X[,1],X[,2],n=25) # X.kde is list: $x 1*n, $y 1*n, $z n*n persp(X.kde,phi=30,theta=60,xlab="x_b",ylab="x_a",zlab="f") ->res Any suggestions are very
