similar to: interactive rotatable 3d scatterplot

Hi, I'm having trouble plotting populations as separate colors and points in the 3d scatterplot package. I have a column with 4 different population names and 3 columns with my data. I want to plot each population with a different color and pch. In addition, I want to use the type="h" in my plotting so that I can see the points clearly in my graph( for publication purposes).

I'm trying to use the rgl package on R-2.7.1 running on top of Ubuntu Hardy amd64. using open3d() and plot3d() I get a plot, but it is not interactive. Furthermore, changes to par3d("FOV"=my.new.value) do nothing. I suspect something is wrong with the rendering engine or interface to it. I do have an Nvidia driver installed and compiz works correctly on the desktop. I've

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

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 all, I've tried to make a 3D plot, but have run into some problems. I'd like to have a plot that I can rotate interactively using the mouse, which is possible using the plots3d {R.basic}. However, I would like to change the symbols used as the points, but there's no pch in plot3d(). If I use the Scatterplot3d package, I'm able to change this, but not able to rotate

Greetings, I would like to add 3D arrows (i.e. arrow-headed vectors linking X1Y1Z1 to X2,Y2,Z2) to a 3D plot; ideally the sort of plot that can be rotated interactively. Is this possible using plot3d, or another 3d plotter in R? While it is easy to draw segments in plot3d (e.g. below), I haven't figured out how to add arrow heads, or to create 3d arrows from scratch. ##two headless

Hi There, I'm attempting to plot 10 values on a three-dimensional PCA with text labels next to each point. While i have no trouble doing this on 2D plots using the 'text' or 'textxy' function, I cannot find a function to do this on a 3D plot. I am using princomp for my PCA: >PCA<-princomp(eucdata, cor=TRUE) >PCA$scores [,1:3] # the three principal components i

I am wondering if anyone knows how to change or rotate the default axes on a 3D scatterplot. I would like to change which sides of the cube the 3 axes are displayed on. Many thanks, Leah Gerber [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear List, In one of my packages I have an S3 method for the plot3d generic function from package rgl. I am trying to streamline my Depends entries but don't know how to have plot3d(foo) in the examples section for the plot3d method in my package, without rgl being in Depends. Note that I importFrom(rgl, plotd3d) and register my S3 method via S3Method() in the NAMESPACE. If rgl is not in

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

Thanks Duncan for the replyI can not suppress anything these are radiation pattern measurements that are typically are taken at X,Y and Z planes. See an example here, where I want to plot the measurements for the red, green and blue planes (so the image below withouth the 3d green structure inside)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258391165/figure/fig7/AS:322947316240401 at

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)

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu Gutsy and, for the first time, am using a 64-bit installation. After failing miserably to install R from source, not a problem for me in the past with a 32-bit install, I went the route of using the Debian Etch build. This went smoothly, but I am unable to update my numerous R and BioConductor packages, getting non-zero exit status errors on each package. Is

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]]

Thanks a lot for the reply.After ?looking at different parts of the code today I was able to start with simple 2D polar plots as the attached pdf file. ?In case the attachment is not visible I used the plot.polar function to create something like that.https://vijaybarve.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/polarplot-05.png Now the idea now will be to put three of those (for X,Y,Z) in a 3d rotatable plane.

Dear RGL experts, I haven't been able to add greek letters to my rgl plot3d. I have tried "expression" with no success. Here is the interested bit: > library(rgl) > cb <- cube3d() > plot3d(cb,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab="",zlab="",box=FALSE,alpha=0.5) The expression(alpha) appears as "alpha", rather than as a greek symbol. I suspect greek

Hello, I tried to use rgl.snapshot and it failed.

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

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

I have just started using the package 'rgl' to explore my data as a 3D scatterplot. It's a great tool. But I would like to be able to save some graph views and it appears the only format available is 'png' and it doesn't look that nice. It is excellent to work with on screen and explore/play, but when it comes to producing a good quality graphic I'm a bit
