Plotting multiple series in 3D

Question

I was reading this post on Mathematica Stack Exchange about plotting multiple series in a 3D chart. Is there any way I could do something like this using R?

I have 4 series that are basically approximations made using different methods and I would like to compare them in a 3D plot rather than plotting them all together in a 2D plot.

Thanks in advance.

As suggested in the comments I leave my data.

Answer 1

You can accomplish it with plotly or plot3d (from rgl ).

library(data.table)
library(plotly)
data <- data.table(data)
data[,x := .I]
data <- melt(data, id.vars = "x")

plot_ly(data, x = ~x, y = ~variable, z = ~value, type = 'scatter3d', mode = 'lines', color = ~variable)

or

library(rgl)
plot3d(data$x, data$variable, data$value, col = rainbow(1000), type = "l")
