plot3D (version 1.0-1)

plot3D-package: 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.

Functions that are based on the persp function:

• 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.
• arrows3D: arrows in 3-D.
• segments3D: line segments in 3-D.
• 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,polygon2Dfor 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.
