cloud: 3d Scatter Plot --- not functional yet

Description

Draw 3d scatter plots

Usage

cloud(formula, data, subpanel = "panel.xyplot", ...)

Arguments

formula

a formula of the form z ~ x * y | g_1 * ...* g_n

data

data frame in which variables are evaluated

subpanel

the function used to plot the points once coordinates of their projections are computed. subpanel="panel.superpose" along with the groups argument can be used to create grouped displays. See iris example below

...

other arguments

synopsis

cloud(formula, data = parent.frame(), aspect = c(1, 1), layout = NULL, panel = "panel.cloud", subpanel = "panel.xyplot", prepanel = NULL, scales = list(cex = 0.5, lty = 1, lwd = 1, col = "black", distance = rep(1, 3), arrows = TRUE), strip = TRUE, groups = NULL, xlab, xlim = range(x), ylab, ylim = range(y), zlab, zlim = range(z), distance = 0.2, par.box, perspective = TRUE, R.mat = diag(4), screen = list(z = 40, x = -60), zoom = 1, ..., subscripts = TRUE, subset = TRUE)

Details

see the documentation for trellis.args and trellis.3d.args. This function is by far incomplete, but is still included because of the structure it puts into place. Conceptually, cloud itself is almost complete (except for the R.mat argument), and once proper panel functions are written, it and also wireframe should be complete. That, however, is probably not going to happen soon.

cloud(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length * Petal.Width, data = iris,
      groups = Species, screen = list(z = 20, x = -70),
      subpanel = panel.superpose,
      key = list(title = "Iris Data", x = .25, y=.75, corner = c(0,1),
                 border = TRUE, 
                 points = Rows(trellis.par.get("superpose.symbol"), 1:3),
                 text = list(levels(iris$Species))))
