scatterplot3d是一个力图在3D空间展示多维数据的R包，在这个包里只含有一个函数scatterplot3d()，这一点上可谓是特立独行。scatterplot3d()的用法如下：

 

scatterplot3d(x, y=NULL, z=NULL, color=par("col"), pch=NULL,
    main=NULL, sub=NULL, xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, zlim=NULL,
    xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, zlab=NULL, scale.y=1, angle=40,
    axis=TRUE, tick.marks=TRUE, label.tick.marks=TRUE,
    x.ticklabs=NULL, y.ticklabs=NULL, z.ticklabs=NULL,
    y.margin.add=0, grid=TRUE, box=TRUE, lab=par("lab"),
    lab.z=mean(lab[1:2]), type="p", highlight.3d=FALSE,
    mar=c(5,3,4,3)+0.1, col.axis=par("col.axis"),
    col.grid="grey", col.lab=par("col.lab"),
    cex.symbols=par("cex"), cex.axis=0.8 * par("cex.axis"),
    cex.lab=par("cex.lab"), font.axis=par("font.axis"),
    font.lab=par("font.lab"), lty.axis=par("lty"),
    lty.grid=par("lty"), lty.hide=NULL, lty.hplot=par("lty"),
    log="", ...)

我看见有很多帖子索要二维正态分布的示意图，这里画一个，

> library(mvtnorm)
> x1 <- seq(-10, 10, length = 51)
> x2 <- seq(-10, 10, length = 51)
> dens <- matrix(dmvnorm(expand.grid(x1,x2),sigma=rbind(c(3,2),c(2,3))),ncol=length(x1))
> s3d<-scatterplot3d(x1,x2,seq(min(dens),max(dens),length=length(x1)),
+ type="n",grid=FALSE,angle = 70,
+ zlab=expression_r(f(x[1],x[2])),
+ xlab=expression_r(x[1]),ylab=expression_r(x[2]),
+ main="Bivariate normal distribution")
> text(s3d$xyz.convert(-1,10,0.07),
+labels=expression_r(f(x)==frac(1,sqrt((2*pi)^n*phantom(".")*det(Sigma[X])))*phantom(".")*exp(bgroup("(",-scriptstyle(frac(1,2)*phantom("."))*(x-mu)^T*Sigma[X]^-1*(x-mu),")"))))
> for(i in length(x1):1)
+ s3d$points3d(rep(x1[i], length(x2)), x2, dens[i,], type = "l")
> for(i in length(x2):1)
+ s3d$points3d(x1, rep(x2[i], length(x1)), dens[,i], type = "l")

之所以画下面这个，完全是因为我贪图色彩，

> cubedraw <- function(res3d, min = 0, max = 255, cex = 2, text. = FALSE)
+   {
+     cube01 <- rbind(c(0,0,1), 0, c(1,0,0), c(1,1,0), 1, c(0,1,1), # < 6 outer
+                     c(1,0,1), c(0,1,0))
+     cub <- min + (max-min)* cube01
+     res3d$points3d(cub[c(1:6,1,7,3,7,5) ,], cex = cex, type = 'b', lty = 1)
+     res3d$points3d(cub[c(2,8,4,8,6),     ], cex = cex, type = 'b', lty = 3)
+     if(text.)
+         text(res3d$xyz.convert(cub), labels=1:nrow(cub), col='tomato', cex=2)
+   }
>   cc <- colors()

+       xlim = c(-50, 300), ylim = c(-50, 300), zlim = c(-50, 300))
>   cubedraw(rr)
