3D graphics
Previously, we described the essentials of R programming and provided quick start guides for importing data into R as well as visualizing data using R base graphs.
This chapter describes how to create static and interactive three-dimension (3D) graphs. We provide also an R package named graph3d to easily build and customize, step by step, 3D graphs in R software.
How this chapter is organized?
