similar to: Beginner Question on Persp()

Hi, I am a beginner user of R. I have a trivial question ? I am almost ashamed I cannot figure it out does not matter how many times I am reading the help. I have a table in .txt format, tab delimited. I can read it with ?read.delim()? with no problems. Afterwards I would like to use boxplot function to see if there are any outliers in the column 5 of my data called TPAH16.ppm In the

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

Hello folks, I am a beginner R user. I have been able to make a 3D surface plot using 'persp'. The surface is made by a grid of lines emanating perpendicularly from each of the x and y axes at regular intervals. I can get rid of that grid by setting 'border=NA'. Can anyone suggest some ways to replace the grid with contour lines, to create a 3-dimensional contour map? Thanks

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

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

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

Well, I started playing with fractals in R, and wrote a function to generate de Mandelbrot set, which might be of interest to some people ########################################################################### # Mandelbrot set ########################################################################### mandelbrot <- function(x = c(-3.0, 1.0), # x coordinates y =

I am trying to graph two planes on the same graph using persp(). I can only get one plane to plot at a time. Can someone explain how I can graph two planes on the same graph using persp? I've looked throught the documentation, but cannot find any references to appending a persp plot. Thanks. Sincerely yours, Mark J. Lamias Statistical Consultant

I have this data set that both x & y are ordered vectors of length 600 & 700 respectively; z is a 600 by 700 matrix whose entry z[i,j] is either a missing value (indicated by 'NaN') or a real number between 0 and 1. The contour function contour(x,y,z) gives me a blank picture. I guess the reason is that most of z-entries are missing, only less than 1% are non missing.

Hello, I have a problem in drawing a 3d graphic. I simplified the program to show you the problem. I have a text file with hundreds of entries in 3 columns. I scaned these columns with matrix(scan). Then, I transformed some datas. Now I have the datas in h,x,y. I created a new matrix to use persp . But I got an error. The reason is probably the same length of x,y,z. But what can I do the draw

Dear R-devel mailing list, I am wondering whether the "theta" and "phi" parameters of the "persp" function in the graphics commands are named in error (the names seem to have been swapped). Also, in the documentation to "persp", reference is made to "colatitude" when the effect in the image is actually that of "latitude". Thank you,

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

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

someone sent in a question earlier about doing something in 3D so i took a stab at it purely for educational purposes ( i'm not even sure that I understood the question actually ). Unfortunately, persp gives me an error that I don't understand because it says "object y not found". I'm sending y in as a parameter to persp similar to what ?persp shows in one of oits examples

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,

Dear Devels, I'm not sure if I'm going the right way by mailing to this list. I have two suggestions regarding the persp function from the graphics package: 1. In the documentation of the persp function, it is said, that the "col" argument will ignore transparent colors. However, this is not true, if you use strings as color code - at least it works with HEX-code (eg. :

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

I am having some trouble getting the persp() package to change the x and y axis on a 3d plot. It defaults to the [0,1] interval and when I try to change it I get errors. Example: This works: ------------ D <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) M <- c(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20) DM <- cbind(D,M) persp(DM, theta = 40, phi = 30, expand = 0.5, col = "lightblue", ltheta = 120,

Hello, I would like to plot two superposed surfaces (original data, and smoothed models). Basically, I would like to create a usual persp plot with box, and then superpose a second surface (without box and axes) on the top plane of the box defined by the first graph. I don't know if it is clear :-( Is it possible to draw such a second surface in an existing persp plot in R? Another (related)
