Hi ,

I wanted to know it is possible to do 3D plotting with R.

If it is possible what shall I do?


   * Are there special packages to install?
   * Where can I find them?

Thanks a lot for your help

Karamian,

R provides the possibility of perspective plots, which are one kind of
3D graphics. Look at the documentation for "persp()", or just type
"example(persp)".

On the other hand there is a extremely powerful software package named
"xgobi" which can do a lot of (dynamic) 3D plotting.

You will find it at http://www.research.att.com/areas/stat/xgobi.

There is a R interface to xgobi available from CRAN.

I had (and still have) some problems with building the newest
xgobi version from source. It seems to be a bit sophisticated concerning
the libraries on my system. So when you are using linux, I think you
should make sure that you don't have a too old distrbution.

Good luck ...

What kind of 3D plotting?
If you mean 3D scatterplot, Uwe Ligges has a packge which can be
downloaded from http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges.htm

If you mean contour or perspective 3D drawing, have a look at
help(persp), or:

            

      
      
      
    

        
This is all I can suggest from your description, since I'm not quite
sure as to what "kind" of 3D plotting you are talking about, if you know
what I mean...

Cheers,

Ko-Kang
