xyz.coords {grDevices} | R Documentation |
Utility for obtaining consistent x, y and z coordinates and labels for three dimensional (3D) plots.
xyz.coords(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, zlab = NULL, log = NULL, recycle = FALSE)
x, y, z |
the x, y and z coordinates of a set of points.
Both y and z can be left at NULL . In this
case, an attempt is made to interpret x in a way suitable for
plotting.
If the argument is a formula zvar ~ xvar + yvar ,
xvar , yvar and zvar are used as x, y and z
variables;
if the argument is a list containing components x ,
y and z , these are assumed to define plotting coordinates;
if the argument is a matrix or data.frame with three
or more columns, the first is
assumed to contain the x values, the 2nd the y ones, and the 3rd the
z ones – independently of any column names that x may have.
Alternatively two arguments x and y can be provided
(leaving z = NULL ). One may be real, the other complex;
in any other case, the arguments are coerced to vectors
and the values plotted against their indices.
|
xlab, ylab, zlab |
names for the x, y and z variables to be extracted. |
log |
character, "x" , "y" , "z" or combinations.
Sets negative values to NA and gives a warning. |
recycle |
logical; if TRUE , recycle (rep ) the
shorter ones of x , y or z if their lengths differ. |
A list with the components
x |
numeric (i.e., double ) vector of abscissa values. |
y |
numeric vector of the same length as x . |
z |
numeric vector of the same length as x . |
xlab |
character(1) or NULL , the axis label of x . |
ylab |
character(1) or NULL , the axis label of y . |
zlab |
character(1) or NULL , the axis label of z . |
