4D stacked column chart, Excel -> R
3 messages · waeltlmi@fh-albsig.de, Hadley Wickham
A stacked barchart is a bad idea. A 3d barchart is a very bad idea. A stacked 3d barchart is a very very bad idea. Why? Because it is very difficult to compare numbers. In a stacked bar chart you can only really compare the total, and the number in the lowest bar. In a 3d barchart you can only compare values in the same row (distorting perspective + occlusion). If you want to display you data in a interpretible way, I would suggest a dotchart, carefully broken down to emphasise the comparisons you want. Hadley

Hi All. I'd like to programm a 4 dimensional chart in R. Acctually I wanted to solve that problem in Excel cause I had the data there. Here is a link of my actual problem description (there are some chart pictures as well).... http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=187336&highlight=stacked+column because I still couldn't solve that problem I came to R. The chart should be actually a 3D chart of the type 3D Column Chart with following achsis: X Achsis: driven kilometre in 10000 blocks Y Achsis: Production month Z Achsis: number I need to show another month in that chart, the repair month. Each column should be a stacked column with more colors, so that every color shows one repair month. I tried to do it with the scatterplot3d function after I saw this example (it is from uwe ligges book): install.packages("scatterplot3d") library("scatterplot3d") data(trees) s3d <- scatterplot3d(trees, type = "h", angle = 55, scale.y = 0.7, pch = 16, main = "trees") my.lm <- with(trees, lm(Volume ~ Girth + Height) ) s3d$plane3d(my.lm, lty.box = "solid" ) Normally I just have to group the ranges which show the km in 10000 blocks and group the points as well, but I didn't come that far. even the scatterplot3d funtion didn't work for my data (gwx and x is my data table). x <- gw.faelle(gwx) k3d <- scatterplot3d(x, type = "h", angle = 55, scale.y = 0.7, pch = 16, main = "GWK" ) Error in segments(x, z, x, z2, col = col, cex = cex.symbols, ...) : invalid color specification Do you have an idea how I can accomplish this task? Is it at allpossible to do that with scatterplot and some low level functions orshall I look at other packages and functions? Thanks in advance for any help and ideas!
