如何使用3维图可视化R中的3列数据？

Question

I am quite new to R and more to plotting with it.

I have this example data in a dataframe.

head(dframe)
  maingroup subgroup   n
1        BR        A 315
2        MV        A 394
3       SAN        A 253
4        BR        B 230
5        MV        B 242
6       SAN        B 152

Now I want to visualize it:

• maingroup on the z-axis
• subgroup on the x-axis
• n on the y-axis

Quick and dirty example.

If this is for publication (static image), you can use scatterplot3d :

library(scatterplot3d)
DT <- data.frame(maingroup = letters[1:6], subgroup = letters[26:21], n = 1:6)
scatterplot3d(x = DT$maingroup, # x axis
              y = DT$subgroup,  # y axis
              z = DT$n,         # z axis
              x.ticklabs = levels(DT$maingroup),
              y.ticklabs = levels(DT$subgroup))

For something more interactive, you can use plotly :

library(plotly)

plot_ly(x = DT$maingroup, # x axis
        y = DT$subgroup,  # y axis
        z = DT$n,         # z axis
        type = "scatter3d")
