Hi, I am applying the following code to map pca loadings onto a 3d grid, my problem is this - the output only plots the spheres in the requested color (in this case "red") for the first argument. The sphere from the second argument appear as flat dark circles. Also the text3d() command only seems to work for a couple of the positions, with no text added in most cases. Could anyone offer

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

Dear all, I have a quiet simple problem (shared by a collegue) but no solution at yet. The arguments I use in bbox3d or text3d do not have any effect on the graph. I need to use 'cex' and 'zlim' but It does not work. Maybe my problem could appear trivial but I have spent a lot of time on that. If you have a solution, please let me know! stephane [[alternative HTML version

I want to print characters from the symbol font (or perhaps even Wingdings) in an rgl 3d plot, but I am having no luck. So, what do I have to do in order to get this snippet to print out a character from the symbol font? library(rgl) open3d() text3d(1,1,1,"a",adj=c(0.5,0.5),cex=10,family="symbol",font=1) I am on Windows XP with R 2.9.1.

Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to annotate rgl plot, after searching i haven't found anything suitable. I saw function text3d but was thinking more about text on the margin, so not interactive.

Dears, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and I found the function 'biplot', inside of the package 'stats', useful but, a bit limited. So, I'm thinking to start a colaborative package to enhance this methods to other multivariate methods. In this way, I would like to start it, making public a new function (biplot.pca, still in development, but running) that make

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 I was wondering if anyone has been able to change the pch value for points in 3dplot()? I am able to change point colors just not symbol types. I have included a portion of my code below. I realize this won't work outside of my script, but thought, maybe there is something obvious that I am doing wrong. Also is it possible to utilize the interactive feature of 3dplot in a

I think it is an easy question but i haven´t found a solution since I am r beginner. I did this plot3d(PCoA, type="p", col=rainbow(1000),size=5) text3d(PCoA, text=Nam) How can I save it including the labels to a jpg-file? Thanks in advance.

Hello I've created a 3d scatterplot, and had no problems labeling the points. However, I've been really struggling to change the color of the points based on a factor (see 'group' below). Is such a thing possible? My data look like this: food group x y z apple fruit 0.216 -0.112 -0.893 orange fruit 0.814 0.097 0.460 broccoli veg -0.239 0.240 -0.425 banana

Hi, I am trying to compare two 3D plots. For that, I am trying to use the "pch" parameter in the "points3d" function, but it is not working. Is it implemented? Any suggestion? Here goes a reproducible code. I wanted the second plot having different symbols for the points. x <- rbind(matrix(rnorm(100, sd = 0.3), ncol = 2), matrix(rnorm(100, mean = 1, sd = 0.3),

I'm have a (minor) problem and a question. Problem: The following code creates 5 clusters of dots of different colors. However, I need the second call outside the data.frame call to get the colors to change for some reason. I assume there's an error in the data.frame() call, but I don't know what. Question: Is there is a way to cause the resulting graphic to rotate on it's

Dear all, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and some days ago I sent for this list a procedural function with invitation for a collaborative package. Jari Oksanen made some suggestions and I agree with all. So, I reworked the function under the object-oriented programming (OOP/S3). I think it is now a good frame for more resources. Below it is the function and a small script to

I'm looking to create a "passdb backend" plugin so that Samba can authenticate with our existing custom authentication system. Though I haven't been able to locate any documentation on this, I believe it's possible (without modifying Samba proper) for the following reasons: - This project exists (though isn't being maintained and doesn't work with the current

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

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

Hi all. It's been a long time since I wrote to this list. Glad to see the R project well and working. I am working with a 3D plot similar to this: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26525177/rgl-device.png rgl-device.png The underlying picture is a JPEG image, loaded with the rimage package and coerced to the matrix. Spheres denote control points, collected from this picture and must be

hello, I wish to create some 3d scatter diagrams visualising different grouped data set by a given field in the database. I tried the scatterplot3d package, as well as the plot3d and scatter3d functions (both within the rgl resp. Rcmdr package). My first question is, whether is it possibe to group data in the scatterplot3d and plot3d, because I did not succeed to use the groups = ...
