[R] scatterplot3d and box3d

[xg...@genome.wustl.edu]

I created a 3d scatter plot and am trying to change the color of outer box
lines with box3d.

Anybody can help me to figure out how to do this?

My example is:

library(scatterplot3d)
x=seq(1:6)
y=seq(7:12)
z=x*2
scatterplot3d(x, y,z)

Thanks.

Xin

See ?scatterplot3d.

This is not going to be possible in the narrow sense: box3d is
from the rgl package, which uses a completely different graphics
device/protocol. You can combine plot3d with box3d (or rgl.bbox)

By the way, seq(7:12) probably doesn't do what you think it does!

... but also returned as a function from a scatterplot3d call. Anyway,
it is irrelevant here and Duncan's answer to read the help page is
correct: several arguments about controlling colours of different parts
of the plot are documented.
