Try the following, which plots a projection of
a `dimension`-cube to a random 2 dimensional
subspace. It uses lm() to do the projection
since that is how I think of linear models, but
you could use more direct matrix manipulations.
It has too many calls to t() in it and it should
let you specify the subspace. Try it with
par(mfrow=c(3,3), mar=rep(0,4))
for(i in 1:9) f(dimension=4)
to get a 9 random views.
f <- function(dimension) {
rorthogonal <- function(n = 2, dimension) {
# generate `n` random orthonormal vectors
# in `dimension` dimensional space
x <- matrix(rnorm(n*dimension), nrow=n, ncol=dimension)
t(eigen(crossprod(x))$vectors)
}
cube <- as.matrix(do.call(expand.grid, rep(list(c(-1,1)),dimension)))
# the points pairs with distance 2 are connected by edges
ij <- which(abs(as.matrix(dist(cube))-2)<1e-7, arr.ind=TRUE)
# only need edge in one direction
ij <- ij[ij[,1]<ij[,2],]
basis <- rorthogonal(n=2, dim=dimension)
# p is projection of vectices to subspace of basis
p <- t(lm.fit(x=t(basis), y=t(cube))$coef)
# plot vertices
plot(p[,1],p[,2],asp=1)
# plot edges
segments(p[,1][ij[,1]], p[,2][ij[,1]], p[,1][ij[,2]], p[,2][ij[,2]])
}
