The 3D plane combinations from the 3D plot palette |
There are six 3D plane combinations at the bottom of the 3D plot palette. Drag one of the 3D plane buttons off the 3D plot palette and drop it inside the graph area. A 3D plane is drawn on the selected graph. The plane is automatically positioned at the minimum or maximum position.
Or,
1. Select the graph.
2. Choose Insert 3D Planes.
3. From the 3D Planes submenu, choose XY Min, XY Max, XZ Min, XZ Max, YZ Min, or YZ Max. A 3D plane is added to the selected graph.
To create a 3D graph with a plane
Drag one of the 3D plane buttons off the 3D plot palette and drop it onto a blank area of a Graph sheet. A 3D graph is automatically created on the Graph sheet, and a 3D plane is drawn. The plane is automatically positioned at the minimum or maximum position on the plane
Or,
1. Choose Insert 3D Planes.
2. From the 3D Planes submenu, choose the desired plane.
3. Make any desired formatting specifications in the 3D Planes dialog and choose OK.
Changing the Plane
In S-PLUS, you can switch between different 3D planes using the plot palettes or the 3D Plane dialog. If any 2D plots are projected onto the plane, they move with the plane.
To change the plane using the palette
1. Select the 3D plane you wish to change.
2. Click the 3D Plots button on the standard toolbar. A palette of 3D plot types and 3D planes appears.
3. Click the desired 3D plane. The selected plane is redrawn using the new plane.
