Plotting multiple datasets on a 3D plot












3












$begingroup$


I want to make a 3D scatter plot of multiple data selections on a single plot (i.e same axes).



I know that in 2D this is possible by using par() function like so:




plot(6:25,rnorm(20),type="b",xlim=c(1,30),ylim=c(-2.5,2.5),col=2)



par(new=T)



plot(rnorm(30),type="b",axes=F,col=3)



par(new=F)




(source: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/kr_addat.html)



Can I do something like that on a 3D plot, preferably an interactive 3D plot, like the ones created using plot3D from 'rgl' package?

You can use the plot3Drgl library. E.g.



library("plot3Drgl")
x <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
y <- c(6,7,8,9,10)
z <- c(11,12,13,14,15)
colors <- c(rep("red",3), rep("blue",2))
plot3d(x=x,y=y,z=z,col=colors)


Or you can use plotly:



library("plotly")
x <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
y <- c(6,7,8,9,10)
z <- c(11,12,13,14,15)
colors <- c(rep("red",3), rep("blue",2))
df<-as.data.frame(cbind(x,y,z,colors))
colnames(df)<-c("eat", "pork", "chops", "colors")

p <- plot_ly(data=df, x=~eat, y=~pork, z=~chops, color =~colors, colors=c('#BF382A', '#0C4B8E')) %>% ## Like a pipe?
add_markers() %>%
layout(scene = list(xaxis = list(title = 'eat'),
yaxis = list(title = 'pork'),
zaxis = list(title = 'chops')))
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(as_widget(p), "index.html")


This saves the output as an html file. In order to get this to work, you'll also need to install pandoc. On CentOS/RedHat do yum install pandoc pandoc-citeproc. On Mac OSX, using homebrew, do brew install pandoc.
