similar to: persp, add lines/highlights

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

Hi, I draw a surface corresponding to bivariate density of independent variables (rho=0) using persp(). Then I add a contour line (i.e., circle in my case) at a particular density. Below is a minimal example of what I have so far. # Bivariate density dnorm2d <- function(x, y, rho = 0) { xoy = (x^2 - 2 * rho * x * y + y^2)/(2 * (1 - rho^2)) density = exp(-xoy)/(2 * pi * sqrt(1 - rho^2))

Hi the manpage for persp() has a wonderful section where a the trans3d () function is used with points() and lines() to add red dots and a green sinusoid to the Mexican hat surface. Does anyone have a way to tell what distance a point is from the eye/ camera? Take the following line: lines (trans3d(x, y=10, z= 6 + sin(x), pm = res), col = 3) Is there a function like trans3d() that returns

Hello R-help! I am trying to draw series of lines in 3d, and I am not sure how to get the depth set up properly - lines that are in front of other lines appear to be behind and vice versa. I've been doing this by first generating an empty persp plot, then adding lines via the data into trans3d followed by lines (this is probably a bad approach, but it was the first one I could get working).

Hi folks, I'm experiencing some hassle to add some text on a persp plot... Here is the code to generate the persp plot: x <- seq(-1.95, 1.95, length = 30) y <- seq(-1.95, 1.95, length = 30) z <- outer(x, y, function(a,b) a*b^2) persp(x, y, z,xlim=c(-2,2),ylim=c(-2,2),zlim=c(-8,8), phi=30, theta=-30,nticks=8,ticktype="detailed") I've tried the text() function :

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.

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

Dear all; Does anyone know how to add grid lines to a persp plot? I've tried using lines(trans3d..) but the lines of course are superimposed into the actual 3d surface and what I need is something like the plot shown in the following link: http://thermal.gg.utah.edu/tutorials/matlab/matlab_tutorial.html I'll appreciate any ideas Thanks PM

I have successfully fitted the model loess.fit1 <- loess(response ~ X*Y) and plotted it in 3D using X.grid <- seq(0,10,length=100) Y.grid <- seq(0,1000,length=100) pred.loess1 <- predict(loess.fit1, expand.grid(x = X.grid, y = Y.grid)) persp(X.grid, Y.grid, pred.loess1, theta = 0, phi = 12) I would like to add a series of points along the fitted surface at X.grid =

Hello list. I very often need 3d scatterplots, and use scatterplot3D quite a lot. I am trying to modify persp() to plot scatterplots, and make use of the theta and phi arguments that persp() offers. I am having some difficulty passing the correct arguments to persp(). Here is my function so far. Much of it is copied from the persp() manpage. points3d <- function(x,y,z,

Hi all, I have a (hopefully quick) question. I've got a fascinating set of fitted surfaces in three dimensions corresponding to local linear multiple regressions. I'd like to add rugs to the X and Y axes (corresponding to my independent variables) in order to get a sense for how many data points I'm working with to graph various portions of the surfaces. The trouble is, I can't

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

Hello, I am trying to plot selected data points to a preexisting persp plot that satisfies a condition. I used the following statement - text(coords[,1], coords[,2], names(act[which(act > 8.75)]), cex=0.7) But I get all the points labeled, instead of the points that satisfy the condition specified. Is there any way to plot only the points I want? Also can this be done using

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
