In plotrix/plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Display text in the margins of a 3D plot

Description

Display text in the margins of a 3D plot.

Usage

 paxis3d(edge,pmat,at=NULL,labels=TRUE,tick=TRUE,
  pos=NULL,nticks=5,ticklen=0.05,labdist=0.15,xpd=NA,...)

Arguments

edge	which axis to calculate.
pmat	matrix to transform coordinates.
at	position on the axis.
labels	labels to display in the margin.
tick	whether to draw axis tick marks.
pos	axis position relative to other axes.
nticks	number of tick marks.
ticklen	length of tick marks as a proportion of plot dimensions.
labdist	distance of labels from axis.
xpd	parameter to set plot clipping.
...	additional arguments passed to ptext3d.

Value

nil

Examples

 x <- 1:10
 y <- 1:10
 z <- outer(x,y,function(x,y) { 3*sin(2*pi*x)/(2*pi*x)+exp(y/10)+(x*y)/1000 })
 par(mar=c(5,10,2,2))
 pp <- perspx(x,y,z,ticktype="detailed",phi=30,theta=80,nticks=3,r=10,
      axes=FALSE)
 ## axis labels not drawn when axes=FALSE
 paxis3d("X-",pp,at=c(1,2,9))
 paxis3d("Y+",pp)
 paxis3d("Z-",pp)
 mtext3d("X-",pp,expression(alpha^sqrt(beta)))
 ## if you want labels parallel to axis, still have to figure out 'srt'
 ##   by trial and error
 mtext3d("Y+",pp,expression("velocity ("*gamma*", furlongs/fortnight)"),
        xpd=NA,srt=6)
 mtext3d("Z-",pp,"Range\n(r*)",dist=0.5)
