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

Dear R-users, I would like to place two 3D plots side-by-side in a rgl-setting. It would nice to have something like "par(mfrow=c(1,2))" for basic plots, or an array framework for wireframe(lattice) (see example below). I only managed to overlap two persp3d plots. My final idea would be to animate both surfaces using play3d(rgl). Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Carlo Giovanni

Hi R help, What is the best way to plots surfaces in 3 dimensions? I also have the following availability problem with "plot3d" and "scatterplot3d", and "wireframe": install.packages("scatterplot3d") Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.ch.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.10 Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs,

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

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.

Hi all! I'm very new to R, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to go from a file of points that I have to a 3d surface plot of the data. I typically have something like this: X Y Z 0.005 0.023 34.45 0.0035 0.63 28.48 . I've tried looking at the persp and wireframe packages, and the rgl package, but I can't seem to figure out how to

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

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 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.

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

Is there a way to get the axes labels for a persp() plot to show the actual values employed? ticktype='detailed' only shows a scale from 0 to 1. My values are (for example) y in 0.2-0.7, x in 450-560 and I would like to suppress the z labels. How can I get the x and y values to appear on the plot? R-2.3.1, Windows XP Home.

Dear All, I want to create a surface plot from the data. My data set is consists of x, y and z data. I plotted in very easy way by Excel worksheet as shown in the attached picture. I did some steps in R, but I cannot have the same plot as in Excel worksheet's figure. the R code is x <- c(-1,-0.75,-0.5,-0.25,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1) y<- c(-1,-0.75,-0.5,-0.25,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1) z<-

Hello all, I use persp3d from the rgl-package to plot a sruface. The typical call is persp3d(x, y, z) With cooridinate-vectros x, y and a function-values matrix z. Now I have different z's, say z_1,...,z_n Question: Is it possible to generate an animation from a sequence of such calls, for different z's? I would like to see how the surface is beeing changed in the time. Thank you

Hello, I requested help a couple of weeks ago creating a dipole field in R but receieved no responses. Eventually I opted to create a 3d sinusoidal plot and concatenate this with its inverse as a means for a "next best" situation. It seems that this isn't sufficient for my needs and I'm really after creating a continuous 3d gaussian mesh with a "positive" and

Hi, *Warning: R newb here. * I've got a 3D scatterplot ( http://www.fleetwoodswoodworks.com/scatterPlot.jpg) which I want to drape in color, with the draped plane corresponding to the mean z values on the plot (similar to: http://www.fleetwoodswoodworks.com/draped3Dscatterplot.jpg). Does anyone know what package will allow me to do this? I used * scatterplot3d()* for my first plot. I've

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. :

hi, all I am looking at R package RGL to draw a colored mesh/surface plot like this one (from matlab). http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/visualize/cbar.gif The key features I am looking for is surfaced with grid and color, but not the terrain-like gradient. but I didn't come even close to it after browsing through rgl help file. have anyone drawn something like this

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get rgl.Sweave to produce plots with transparency. However, it just seems to produce opaque plots when pdf is the output type. Perhaps this is a known issue? I'll just use .png in the meantime, but wanted to see about this, as I didn't see it in the documentation (though it's possible I missed it). Thanks, Allie \documentclass{article} \title {rgl

Hi, I would like plot two surfaces which are each given by vectors x and y, and a matrix m(x,y) representing the z coordinate. With persp() I can plot both, using par(new=TRUE) I can put it in one plot. However, I would like to have the visibility of the surfaces taken into account as if they are solid thin surfaces, so that for example the order of the plot commands does not matter. Any idea

Hello, Is it possible to draw level lines on the surface of a bivariate function? In the following example, to draw surface and levels lines for a multivariate normal law, I use persp, trans3d, contourLines and lines, but if the lines are correctly drawn, some parts of them are, of course, visible even if they are drawn on a non visible "face". Any suggestion to avoid this problem
