Hi Scott, The trick is to postpone plotting (plot = FALSE) and then do plotdev() with the required limits:
library(plot3D) x <- z <- seq(-4, 4, by=0.2) y <- seq(-6, 6, by=0.2) M <- mesh(x,y,z) R <- with(M, sqrt(x^2 + y^2 +z^2)) p <- sin(2*R)/(R+1e-3) x.limits <- c(-2, 2) y.limits <- c(-2, 2) slice3D(x,y,z, colvar=p, xs=0, ys=c(0, 4), zs=NULL, scale=F, ticktype="detailed", plot = FALSE) plotdev(xlim=x.limits, ylim=y.limits) This should work.

The slices plotted by the code below go beyond the bounds of the persp box and obscure the axis information. How can I show just the part of the domain within x.limits and y.limits? library(plot3D) x <- z <- seq(-4, 4, by=0.2) y <- seq(-6, 6, by=0.2) M <- mesh(x,y,z) R <- with(M, sqrt(x^2 + y^2 +z^2)) p <- sin(2*R)/(R+1e-3) x.limits <- c(-2, 2) y.limits <- c(-2, 2) slice3D(x,y,z, colvar=p, xs=0, ys=c(0, 4), zs=NULL, xlim=x.limits, ylim=y.limits, scale=F, ticktype="detailed") Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, WA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
