3d scatter plot

[yotama9]

Hi guys.

I'm searching for this for some time now and couldn't find this anywhere.

Is there an open source way, apart from VisIt which doesn't work on Ubunto, to generate a 3d scatter plot on ubuntu? I have written a code which should produce something like this:


And I can't show it.

Thanks.

One option is to use Processing - http://processing.org/

It's rather easy to use Processing within a Java project if you're in Java land. Alternatively you might just create a csv with your data, parse it all in Processing, and then visualize.

There's a python port too, but that did not work for me on Ubuntu...

Also, the Javascript port is pretty mature if you're doing web stuff.

Did you have a look at paraview yet? I think it should be capable of doing this sort of plot. (You might have to look into the pvmeshless toolbox)

ParaView looks good. I'm toying around with it.

Thanks

The best way to learn gnuplot is the book below

well for such a scatter plot as in the forum thread you described it might be indeed better to use gnuplot. For the task the op is looking for I'd rather use paraview since it does have a lot more features (filters + pvmeshless plugin) and is also much more intuitive to use than gnuplot.

I've used the RGL package in R before to do similar work.

There's other packages in R that will do this as well.

And another for making 3D scatterplots in R using R-Commander
