plot3D-package {plot3D}

Plotting multi-dimensional data.

Description

Functions for visualising 2-D and 3-D data.

Many of the functions are extensions of R's persp or image function.

Other packages that provide visualisation of 3-D data (and which might be better suited) are: rgl, scatterplot3D, misc3D.

Note

This package is dedicated to Carlo.

Note

Some of the functions based on persp will not work properly for all values of phi (which turns the plots upside-down). This is because an assumption is made as to how the perspective plots are viewed.

• persp3D: an extended version of persp.

• ribbon3D: a perspective plot as ribbons.

• hist3D: 3-D histograms.

• scatter3D, points3D, lines3D: colored points, lines, ... in 3-D.

• slice3D, slicecont3D: slices from a full 3-D data set.

• isosurf3D: isosurfaces from a full 3-D data set as triangles.

• voxel3D: isosurfaces from a full 3-D data set as points.

• surf3D, spheresurf3D: 3-D shapes or surfaces.

• polygon3D: 3-D polygons.

• box3D, border3D, rect3D: boxes and rectangles in 3-D.

• text3D: labels in 3-D.

Functions defined on the image function:

• image2D, for an image function to visualise 2-D or 3-D data.

• ImageOcean: an image of the ocean's bathymetry.

Other plotting functions:

• contour2D, for a contour function to visualise 2-D data and that have a color key.

• scatter2D: colored points, lines, ... in 2-D.

• text2D, arrows2D, segments2D, rect2D, polygon2D for other 2D functions that have a color key.

Colors and colorkey:

• colkey: adds a color legend.

• jet.col, ramp.col, gg.col, alpha.col: suitable colors, shade and lighting.

Utility functions:

• mesh: to generate rectangular (x, y) or (x, y, z) meshes.

Data sets:

• Oxsat: 3-D data set with the ocean's oxygen saturation values.

• Hypsometry: 2-D data set with the worlds elevation and ocean's bathymetry.
