Hello All -

Any recommendations or suggestions for neat ways to visualize data
taken from a 3-axis accelerometer? My study species is aquatic, so I
would be interested in movement in the 3 dimensions in addition to
being able to incorporate the time series as well. Is there a package
in R that might be useful for this?


As David mentioned, rgl can draw 3D figures, but the problem of 
visualizing a 3D path in an informative way is not easy.  The new 
cylinder3d function in rgl might give paths that are easier to decode 
visually than line segments would be; it also offers the possibility of 
encoding orientation in the shape of the cylinder.  I'd be interested in 
hearing how this goes.

 I also tried, p3 - ???'plot 3d', which also found 411 matches. 



 Hope this helps.

rgl should let you draw segments (maybe even arrows) in pseudo 3D  
between sequential locations. I wonder if you could trick persp into  
doing it as well?


scatterplot3d would be another avenue to explore.
