I am trying to add multiple surfaces to one scatter3d
plot in R. Here is an example from scatter3d
documentation:
library(plot3D)
with (mtcars, {
# linear regression
fit <- lm(mpg ~ wt + disp)
# predict values on regular xy grid
wt.pred <- seq(1.5, 5.5, length.out = 30)
disp.pred <- seq(71, 472, length.out = 30)
xy <- expand.grid(wt = wt.pred,
disp = disp.pred)
mpg.pred <- matrix (nrow = 30, ncol = 30,
data = predict(fit, newdata = data.frame(xy),
interval = "prediction")[,1])
# fitted points for droplines to surface
fitpoints <- predict(fit)
scatter3D(z = mpg, x = wt, y = disp, pch = 18, cex = 2,
theta = 20, phi = 20, ticktype = "detailed",
xlab = "wt", ylab = "disp", zlab = "mpg",
surf = list(x = wt.pred, y = disp.pred, z = mpg.pred,
facets = NA, fit = fitpoints),
main = "mtcars")
})
which produces the following plot:
Let's say I wanted to add two more surfaces that are :
surf1<-mpg.pred+5
surf2<-mpg.pred-5
How would I go about doing that?
You can use surf3D
with add = TRUE
to add the extra surfaces:
library(plot3D)
with (mtcars, {
# linear regression
fit <- lm(mpg ~ wt + disp)
# predict values on regular xy grid
wt.pred <- seq(1.5, 5.5, length.out = 30)
disp.pred <- seq(71, 472, length.out = 30)
xy <- expand.grid(wt = wt.pred,
disp = disp.pred)
mpg.pred <- matrix (nrow = 30, ncol = 30,
data = predict(fit, newdata = data.frame(xy),
interval = "prediction")[,1])
# fitted points for droplines to surface
fitpoints <- predict(fit)
p1 <- scatter3D(z = mpg, x = wt, y = disp, pch = 18, cex = 2,
theta = 20, phi = 20, ticktype = "detailed",
xlab = "wt", ylab = "disp", zlab = "mpg",
surf = list(x = wt.pred, y = disp.pred, z = mpg.pred,
facets = NA, fit = fitpoints),
main = "mtcars")
p2 <- surf3D(x = matrix(wt.pred, 30,30),
y = matrix(disp.pred, 30,30,byrow=TRUE), z = mpg.pred + 5, facets = NA, add = TRUE)
p3 <- surf3D(x = matrix(wt.pred, 30,30),
y = matrix(disp.pred, 30,30,byrow=TRUE), z = mpg.pred - 5, facets = NA, add = TRUE)
})

The legend and color schemes are a little bit wrong; you could perhaps fix them, but I don't know how. Using colkey=list(plot=FALSE)
in the two surf3D
calls helps a bit, but the color scheme is still wrong for the extra planes.
