Thank you Ista and LMH. I want to plot 3D scatter with options to connect the surface with lines;that's just like points connected with a line in 2D and i may want to fit a surface to the data for soem of teh plots. LMH pointed out to what concerned me and the reason for the question which was i don't want to spend time in a package and then find out that t doesn't do what i want to. Thanks again and best of luckEK On Monday, March 23, 2020, 6:02:33 PM EDT, LMH <lmh_users-gro...@molconn.com> wrote: Hello,
I use rgl for 3D plots. Mostly I use this for a 3D scatter plot where I can zoom and pan for closer analyses of the data. I also can manually connect any points with lines. It took me a bit to get the options right so the plot appears the way I want it to. In my opinion, there are a few unresolved issues with the units and labels on the axis, but most of the data I looked at was in principle components so x, y, and z were in the same units. I can post a sample of the terminal input that I used if that would help. LMH Ek Esawi wrote: > Hi All-- > > I have been looking into 2D and 3D graphing packages.
