similar to: Saving RGL Graphs

Hello, I have created a 3d scatter plot using plot3d. Is it possible to export the resulting graph so that it can be placed in a pdf, powerpoint, or something of the sort and still be able to rotate it? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Users: I wish to save 3d scatter plots I have generated using the plot3d command in the rgl package. Any image format such as .tiff would work. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Context: I have two or more rgl-based views of a given data set, perhaps fitting different models, or showing different things across views. I want to be able to hand-rotate, zoom, scale one view to something I like, and then show the other views with matching viewpoints and scaling. so that one could flip back/forth among graphs and see only the relevant differences. In 2D, all this usually

Dear useRs, I have several problems in using rgl-0.77 (and recent earlier versions) on Gentoo Linux with a custom-built v. 2.6.22 kernel. Currently I use R-2.6.1. When I build rgl, # R CMD INSTALL "/home/liviu/inst/dwn/R/rgl_0.77.tar.gz" or install.packages("rgl", dependencies=TRUE, method ="wget"), I notice the following warning messages: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++

Hello Everyone. I?m on a Mac, using rgl. Thanks to all the developers and maintainers on it! If I drag the mouse, I can rotate the view, if I hold down the option key or the ctrl key and drag, I get scaling (though at times I seem to alter the perspective?). Adding the shift key doesn't seem to modify anything. So, what I can't find is a key combination that translates the object.

Hello, I have created a 3d scatter plot using the plot3d command in the rgl package. I have approximately 6500 data points in the scatter plot. I would like to color these points sequentially using the entire color spectrum. (So the first point is red, next point slightly different, and each point gradually changes so that the final point is violet.) Is anyone familiar with how this can be done?

Hi all I am a complete newbie to this list (just subscribed) and a newcomer to R (an S user from olden times). I have been using scatter3d to create a 3d scatter plot with surface. The graphic is created within the rgl package and I have used rgl.postscript to export it so I can generate a publication quality image. My problem is that the plotted surface is no longer transparent in the

Hello, I am basically using a script that is designed to first create an rgl 3d scatter plot followed by a barplot on the same data. After this is done, the program is to first save the barplot as a .tiff file then to save the rgl 3d graph as a .png file. Once this is done, it is to repeat this 3d plot and barplot combo with saving 49 more times. The plotting script excerpt will be posted at the

Dear R list I am using rgl.sphere to visualize scatter plot data in three dimensional space. Thanks to the rgl library, I can easily find out the data point that I am interested in. However, as I can not see the labels of each data point directly in RGL window, I usually look for the values of x, y, z axis to find out the label (or line number of the data point). Is there any way that I

Dear all, I write to the community to know if other people expierenced the same problem. I want to save a rgl scene where I plotted a 3d cloud of spheres whose radius is set proportional to a given variable and coloured by another group variable and with 95% ellipsoids for distribution of any group. I had no problem at all for coding but I had two problem when saving the scene (in any format)

Hi, I am trying to plot a 3d scatter plot using the rgl package but am having trouble. I have a matrix containing x, y and z co-ordinates and a fourth element related to a count variable. I would like to plot the points using plot3d with the sizes of the points related to the fourth element in the matrix. Is this possible with plot3d or do I need to use something else? I include a small example

Is there a way to change the viewpoint using view3d (or rgl.viewpoint) with respect to the image that currently appears rather than the perspective that rgl thinks is the default? For example, if I create an image and then perform what should be a no-op: rgl.viewpoint(userMatrix=rotationMatrix(0,1,0,0)) the image is rotated. Then I can perform rotations on the result without surprises. But I

I have just encountered the problem with rgl where plot3d figures don't interact with the mouse. My plots zoom in and out with the mouse wheel but the mouse buttons do nothing. I can't rotate the plot. This has been mentioned and discussed here and in other lists before, and the solution is to turn off Ubuntu's fancy graphics. Back in March, Ben Bolker said: """

Dear all: I'm enjoying using rgl and I want to set a specific viewpoint. I understand that view3d() will do so by setting the 3d polar coordinate angles, theta and phi. In standard polar coordinates, theta is the angle away from the X axis in the X-Y plane and phi (inclination angle) is the angle between the Z axis and the radius vector It appears that when you use view3d() theta is

Dear List, I'm trying to draw vector in XYZ with rgl under use of a cylinder3d. Therefore I scale and rotate a basis-cylinder). However, somehow the rotation is wrong as verified by overplotting arrow3d(). Where is my mistake? library(heplots) library(rgl) # ... 2 vectors data=data.frame(row.names=c('X','Y','Z'), x1=c(2,1,5),y=c(4,3,2))

Dear R wizards, In windows I get really cool graphs with the rgl package. However on linux, it seems that I can't install one of my favourite packages. I get a error message on X11, but all X11 packages are installed on my linux desktop. Who can help me out here? Thanks!

Dear expeRts, I am a new user of rgl, below is my first trial to plot a simple function in 3d. I managed to put the axes in the right locations, but: (1) The xlab, ylab, and zlab arguments are ignored; how can I put in axes labels? (2) Since I removed the axes in persp3d() the viewport is too small; is it possible to keep the size of the viewport? (3) The box is not correctly drawn, there

hi, i am running R with JGR and Deducer under Ubuntu Mint Lucid. since i updated to R 2.12 i can no longer make graphs - R just crashes. the full error report was posted to launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/675905) without any success so far. anyone with a similar problem or helpful suggestions? thanks! kat

Dear R-users, within the rgl-package, I would have a question about the usage of persp3d in combination of rgl.viewpoint. I am not able to figure out how to let a 3D plot rotating around likewise the example in ?rgl.viewpoint. It seems that when I use persp3d(...) I see something on my screen, which is different from what I get when it's rotating. Is there any different behavior between

Dear all, Below is some code where I try to get plotmath symbols in an rgl plot. Duncan Murdoch kindly suggested to use a "sprite" for this. As you can see, on can get it to work, but my knowledge about grid and rgl is too limited to perfectly solve the problem. 1) As you can see (please rotate the plot a little bit so that (0,0,0) is "in front"), the quality of the .png
