3D scatter / line plot — plot3js • r3js

A high level method for generating a 3D scatter or line plot.

  x,
  y,
  z,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  zlim = NULL,
  xlab = NULL,
  ylab = NULL,
  zlab = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  type = "points",
  geometry = NULL,
  axislabel_line = 3,
  aspect = NULL,
  label_axes = c("x", "y", "z"),
  draw_box = TRUE,
  draw_grid = TRUE,
  grid_lwd = 1,
  grid_col = "grey90",
  axis_lwd = grid_lwd,
  box_lwd = grid_lwd,
  box_col = grid_col,

  ...
)

Arguments

x: x coords for points / lines
y: y coords for points / lines
z: z coords for points / lines
xlim: plot x limits
ylim: plot y limits
zlim: plot z limits
xlab: x axis label
ylab: y axis label
zlab: z axis label
label: optional vector of interactive point labels
type: one of "points" or "lines"
geometry: should points and lines be represented as physical geometries? Default for points is TRUE and for lines is FALSE, see points() and lines() for more information.
axislabel_line: Distance of axis label from plot
aspect: Plot axis aspect ratio, see plot3js.window()
label_axes: Vector of axes to label, any combination of "x", "y" and "z"
draw_box: Should a box be drawn around the plot
draw_grid: Should an axis grid be drawn in the background
grid_lwd: Grid line width
grid_col: Grid line color
axis_lwd: Axis line width
box_lwd: Box line width
box_col: Box color
background: Background color for the plot
...: Further parameters to pass to material3js()

Value

Returns a data3js object, that can be plotted as a widget using print() or r3js() or further added to with the other plotting functions.

Examples


# Simple plot example
p <- plot3js(
  x = iris$Sepal.Length,
  y = iris$Sepal.Width,
  z = iris$Petal.Length,
  col = rainbow(3)[iris$Species],
  xlab = "Sepal Length",
  ylab = "Sepal Width",
  zlab = "Petal Length"
)

r3js(p, zoom = 2)


# Plotting with point rollover info and highlighting
p <- plot3js(
  x = USJudgeRatings$CONT,
  y = USJudgeRatings$INTG,
  z = USJudgeRatings$DMNR,
  highlight = list(
    col = "darkgreen",
    size = 2.5
  ),
  xlab = "CONT",
  ylab = "INTG",
  zlab = "DMNR",
  size = 2,
  col = "green",
  label = rownames(USJudgeRatings)
)

r3js(p, zoom = 2)
