similar to: Plotting 3d data?

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

Hi R users, Does anyone know how to change the size of 3d charts? I'm using surface3d in rgl package, opening a new window each time to display the chart. I want it so that the chart fills the whole window, because when I output it to png, I don't want all the white space around the chart (right now, i'm getting this white "border" around the chart because the chart is

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'm using rgl to generate a 3D surface plot and I'm struggling to get the lighting correct. Currently the surface gets plotted, but is very 'shiny'. On rotating the view, I get to see parts of the surface - but overall I don't see much detail because of the spotlight like lighting. I've played around with the specular, ambient and diffuse but I can't

I'd like to use rgl.surface (or some other function if more appropriate) to create a horizontal and vertical transparent grey slice (plane) running through both the x and y origins and extending across the z axis, i.e. the 3-d equivalent of the normal 2-d coordinate axes we are all familiar with. The examples for rgl.surface are a bit more complex than what I need and I am having trouble

Hi List, I am trying to plot a grid with an overlayed height. I have a dataframe with four variables: x,y,gridvalue,height. The dataframe has 2.5mio observations (ie grid points), I assign colors through the gridvalue using map_color_gradient thus producing: x,y,gridvalue,height,gridcol as variables of the dataframe. The grid dimensions are 1253 x 2001 (=2507253 data points). My attempts with

Hello, Please could someone advise if it's possible to save the graphical output from the surface3d() function? I have tried the dev.copy() function to save as a pdf but an error message says I cannot copy from the null device.

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

Dear all, I would like to put two perspective plots into one plot. The help page for ?persp shows how one can add points and lines but not another perspective plot. data(volcano) z <- 2 * volcano # Exaggerate the relief x <- 10 * (1:nrow(z)) # 10 meter spacing (S to N) y <- 10 * (1:ncol(z)) # 10 meter spacing (E to W) ## Don't draw the grid lines : border = NA persp(x,

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

Dear all, The documentation on the function open3d in the rgl package, reads: open3d opens a new rgl device, and sets the parameters as requested. I want the new rgl device (window) to be sized and positioned in a specific place on my screen. So, I try to set the "windowRect" parameter as follows: > library("rgl") > open3d(windowRect=c(100,100,500,500))

Dear folks, I have created a plot on RGL device :   x = 1:6 y = seq(-12, 5, by=1) z = matrix(0, length(y), length(x)) z[13,3] = 1; z[13,4] = 1.011765 surface3d(x, y, t(z), col=rainbow(1000)) grid3d(c("x-", "y-", "z"))   Now I want to draw 2 lines along x=3 & x=4, over the surface (with different colour). Could somebody help me how to draw that?   Thanks,

Dear R-experts, Using persp3d(), I plotted a 3d surface. I would like to colour this surface based on the result values (dependent variable) grouped in, say, three to five different ranges. Later, I would also like to paint the same surface based on the range-values of one of the independent variables. Please help. Thank you. Regards, Suresh -- View this message in context:

Hi All- I would like to create a 3d topographic map using lat/lon and z(height). I have been scouring the R help pages and have not located the package I am looking for. Does anyone have a suggestion of package that will work for this? thanks- sherri

All, I am wondering how one might add a reference line or plane to a cloud or wireframe plot. I have been unable to figure this out. Let's say I would like to draw a reference for some value of wt in the example below: cl <- 54.1 age <- 10:80 wt <- 25:160 sim <- expand.grid(age = age,wt = wt) sim$cl <- cl*(sim$wt/70)**0.412 * (sim$age/50)**0.152

Hi, I don't know much about the RGL package, and I have read the documentation and tried some parameters, with no luck... I would like to generate a movie from a 3D object (code below), where the vortex A is closer to the observer, and then the object rotates and the B vortex gets closer. I would like to capture this movie to a file. By the way, I am not being able to insert unicode text

Hi all, I just started using the rgl package in R, and I need to know how I connect the dots I created. A simple line from one co?rdinate (x0,y0,z0) to another (x1,y1,z1) will do. I tried using the code rgl.lines, but it doesn't accept lines that don't stem from O (0,0,0). Please help! Thanks! -- View this message in context:

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

Hi All, Does anyone know of a function to plot a regression surface for two predictors? RSiteSearch()s and findFn()s have not turned up what I was looking for. I was thinking something along the lines of: http://mallit.fr.umn.edu/fr5218/reg_refresh/images/fig9.gif I like the rgl package because showing it from different angles is nice for demonstrations. I started to write my own, but it has

Hi, I am looking for a R package to draw 3d plot. But not in a static way like scatterplot3d or stuff like that. I would like to make rotate the plot, to zoom/unzoom etc..., actually to render the graph 'dynamic'... (for the biologist and bioinformatician, a R package which permitts to reproduce what pdb viewer does). Does a Way exist to do something like that in R ? Thanks,
