I am trying to create a 3-D graph (using scatter3d) and save the graph to a file so I can insert the graph into a manuscript. I am able to create the graph. When I run the code below an RGL window opens that has the graph. The file is saved to disk after dev.odd() runs. Unfortunately, when I open the saved file, all I see is a white window. Can someone tell me how to have the file so I can subsequently read and place the file in a paper? The problem occurs regardless of the format in which I try to save the file, e.g. png, tiff.x <- 1:10 y <- 2:11 z <- y+rnorm(10) ForGraph<-data.frame(x=x,y=y,z=z) ForGraph gpathj <- file.path("C:","LAL","test.jpeg") gpathj jpeg(file = gpathj) par(mai = c(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)) scatter3d(z=ForGraph$x, y=ForGraph$y, x=ForGraph$z, surface=FALSE,grid=TRUE,sphere.size=4 ,xlab="Categories",ylab="ScoreRange", zlab="VTE Rate (%)",axis.ticks=TRUE) dev.off()
You didn't say what package you found scatter3d in, but you did say it opens an rgl window. rgl doesn't use R graphics devices, so jpeg() and the like don't work.
To save an rgl image, you use the rgl::snapshot3d() function. It only has support for saving to PNG format.
If you are writing your manuscript in R Markdown or knitr Rnw, there are ways to have the file included automatically. There have been methods to use with Sweave as well, but those aren't being maintained: people should use knitr instead.
